I am currently working on a 2011 yearbook for our garden club. I need a motto or saying to paste onto our title page. Something witty or cute, but short. Last year's was "Come Grow With Us!" but now I am stuck! The best I've come up with is "Gardener's get the best dirt!" 
Any thoughts?
Oh! Forgot,
this is my first post. I have been subscribing to CITR for a couple of years and always find it amazing! I am a retired schoolteacher, second, fourth, and fifth grades for 23 years at 2 different schools and many classroom moves later, and now I live in a wonderful 1800's NH country farmhouse with my wonderfully smart, inventive, and caring husband. We had 2 sons, and now between them, we have 6 happy, loveable grandkids. I love to garden, cook, read, and write for a weekly column put out by our Master Gardeners' writing group called, NH Outside. I hope to post more often now that I have introduced 
myself.
Thanks for any ideas you may have! Helen

Hi Helen, and welcome! If you feel like it, you can add a that part with your info about yourself here: Introduce yourself! I actually moved this here because of the "garden" part of your question and I thought folks here would really enjoy finding quotes for you.
As to your garden quotes, here's a few that come to mind…
"I garden, therefore I am."
"So many seeds – – so little time."
"You can bury a lot of troubles digging in the dirt."
"Plant a garden, harvest happiness." (happiness can be replaced in that one with beauty, peace, pleasure, or other good words!
"A weed is only a misplaced plant."
"Don't grumble that roses have thorns,
be thankful that thorns have roses."
I kept to the shortest ones except for that last one, but I bet there's tons out there!

Thanks, Buckeye Girl. I just tried to send this, but deleted it by
accident. The logistics of all this is a bit overwhelming! Thank you for
the really good ideas! I hope I will get more too. It's nice to have
extras to "throw around"!

yeah….. 
the logistics. I absolutely do NOT want to hurt feelings Helen, but here's some info! to respond in the same section, just click on the "Reply to Post" at the bottom of a thread. To insert smilies into a post, you just leave your cursor line where you want the smiley to be, then move your mouse down to the smiley 'pool' down below the reply box, and click on the one you want. It will show up, and you don't need to 'copy-paste'
I truly don't want to inhibit your posts by hurting feelings, it seems to me that you will fit in with the rest of us 
SO well so please stick around and give us a chance? Getting used to this stuff is a pain, but it can be a ton of fun too. 
Welcome!!

Oh my gosh, BuckeyeGirl, you are so imaginative! I loved those ideas!
I think it is so neat you write a paper for garden club! I wonder if you have it online that we may read it, too, Helen?

hd: gr 2-5 for more than two decades?! Getting around this site is a lot like getting through to a recalcitrant student. nibble at the edges and work your way in! It'll be so rewarding when the penny drops!
I must say that when I read the title of the post, I read clubber as a verb, not a noun! Violence in the garden where the potatoes have eyes and the corn has ears. Intriguing.

Well, MaryB, now that you mention it, I just happen to have a boodle! I'll dig some out and put some on here--can I do that? They are about 7-800 words long. I've sort of hankered to do that in the past, but I never knew exactly who might be interested. Quite a few cover gardening topics, but they are all about something in the great out of doors. 
Thanks for mentioning it.

Bonita! What a pretty name! I try not to be violent in the garden, but I could mention a few weeds that I wouldn't mind clubbing--as if that would do those thugs any harm! I have witch or quack grass that is such a relentless monster. I understand that it was brought over to the states because the railroads wanted to stabilize their banks along the tracks--talk about overkill!

Thanks, Pete. Could you tell me what your Latin quote means? So far, I have been unable to find a translation.

knancy, I've tried all I could to send you a private message so I dont hijack this thread, but cant figure out how. Will you please tell me about that site you put up there? Is that your site? Is it Mormon? Apostolic? I am so curious.
Sorry for asking here, Helen.

Helen – the translation is "Let's all wear mood rings!" It changes from time to time – and that one went up on one of those days when nothing seemed to be going quite right…

Too funny, Pete!A blast from the past. Latin should be used more often! I can usually figure out some of the words, but that one just blew by me!

I am trying to figure out how I cna send a link to one of my articles. This may take time, but I'll figure it out. (Did I mention, I'm kinda obsessive-compulsive? That's my husband's diagnosis!)

Helen, that is something new to learn. knancy just taught me that to pm someone there is a little p.m. button on the top of these boxes we write in! I'm embarrassed… it was there all along. Ok, next to learn your new lesson. lol
