“The best use of time is to enjoy it, as I do when working in peaceful silence. I am surprised that anyone with a love for growing things will take up with artificial contrivances that come between him and nature, which break the spell woven by all the delicate garden influences, the songs of birds and insects, the sound of rustling leaves, the smell of freshly turned soil, the direct contact with the earth. What is he in the garden for?” MachinesGardening By Hand Book:Payne Hollow: Life on the Fringe of Society Source: Payne Hollow: Life on the Fringe of Society
