Five Essential Tips for Gardening

1) Nothing will ever turn out as beautiful as it appears on the seed packet.

2) No matter how small your lawn, it will always be bigger than your desire to mow it.

3) In a prolonged spell of dry weather, no matter how bare the lawn becomes,
grass will still happily grow between the paving stones.

4) The only way to make sure it rains is to give the garden a good watering.

5) No matter how poorly plants grow even when you lavish attention on them,
weeds will always thrive.
