Much education today is monumentally ineffective. All too often we are giving young people cut flowers when we should be teaching them to grow their own plants. ~John W. Gardner

Having worked in the educational system, I must say that the previous quote does have its truths. We must provide students with information then watch them experience it and learn from it. I do believe in education.

We can learn both in a classroom and in a yard/garden. What have you learned this year from your yard? I see that even when you have had recent rains, plants dry out and you must be mindful to check soil moisture and water when need. WATER, WATER, WATER .....

One good plant that does not take large amounts of water ... DAYLILIES. Yee-Haa! Check us out at Oakville Farm for a daylily suited just for you.

Hope you have a good day and until next time, Happy Gardening.
