Garden School

Opportunity is missed by most people
because it is dressed in overalls
and looks like work.

- Thomas A. Edison

Step 1: Break the ground and then break it a few more times for good measure.



He who works his land will have abundant food.
- Proverbs 12:11


Step 2: Rake and rake and rake some more -- removal of sod, rocks, and debris.


You cannot plough a field
by turning it over in your mind.

Cherub 4 asked: "Hey Mom, do you think this farm ever was a Rock Quarry ?"

"No son, why do you ask ?"

"Because there are certainly a lot of ROCKS here - maybe we should open a Quarry instead of planting a garden ?." (Cherub 4)


What this world needs is dirtier finernails and cleaner minds. -- Will Rogers

Mom said cheerfully "Many hands makes light work."

Cherub 1 replied "No - many hands means more jobs on the list to be done."

Cherub 6 replied "No - more people to aim for when you toss the rocks from the garden."

Hummmmm ........
