A cute quote I saw on a garden stone this year was:

"These aren't really weeds.. just think of them as groundcover!" hehe

another was

"I don't remember planting this!"

THE GARDEN OF DAILY LIVING
PLANT THREE ROWS OF PEAS
peas of mind, peas of heart, peas of soul
PLANT FOUR ROWS OF SQUASH
squash gossip, squash indifference, squash grumbling, squash selfishness
PLANT FOUR ROWS OF LETTUCE
lettuce be faithful, lettuce be kind, lettuce be patient, lettuce really love one another
NO GARDEN IS COMPLETE WITHOUT TURNIPS
turnip for meetings, turnip for service, turnip to help one another
WE MUST ALSO INCLUDE THYME
thyme for each other, thyme for family, thyme for friends
Water freely with happiness and cultivate with love.
There will be much fruit in your garden because you reap what you sow.

I just love the one you see everywhere, Live well, laugh often and Love much. One says welcome God Sunshine and Flowers or could put friends. Love the quote's this thread made me chuckle.
