Gardening Proverbs : Just How Many do You Know

If you have a garden in your home and if you love taking care of your garden and seeing beautiful plants grow, then you might be delighted to read - especially if you have some love for the abstract and the philosophical side of life - that lots and lots of practical wisdom have been packed into cute little gardening proverbs by wise men and women who lived in the ages gone by ...

And by far the most famous of all gardening proverbs is something that people all over the world may have heard over and over again in their lives ...

You reap what you sow

What can be truer than this ? Illustrations seem to be all around us - from an acorn an oak grows ... nothing else but an oak. Like begets like. Maybe the same holds true for life too ? Does love beget love and does success beget success ? You may want to ponder over those the next time you see a tiny little plant germinating :-)

Though others may not be as "well known" as this one, they do seem to be pretty relevant too ...

The grass is always greener on the other side

Doesn't this one seem to be true ! We seem to tend to see only patches of mud where we stand and inviting green grass a mile from where we are ! Whoever first thought of this one might have been a philosopher with a thorough understanding of human psychology ... and human perspective too :-)
