What’s Growing in the Garden: Early May

May 12, 2012

“Hurrying down to his three-hour service, an earnest young priest had stopped to ask the old man if he knew what Good Friday was all about. ‘Good Friday?’ came the reply. ‘Good Friday be the day when the Almighty reckons we ought to get our ‘taties in.’” – Reginald Arkell, Old Herbaceous And if you [...]
