Happygirl's Garden on the Web

Though I do not believe that a plant will spring up where no seed has been, I have great faith in a seed. Convince me that you have a seed there, and I am prepared to expect wonders. ~Henry David Thoreau~

I plant the seed,
You make it grow.
You send the rain,
I work the hoe.

The garden provides a bountiful harvest
