We all know some of them:

All you need is good seed, good soil, good weather, and good luck.

You're not growing salad. You're growing fruit.

The bull shit stops when the tailgate drops.

Do you have one you want included in the new book due out in August?

Deadline for submission is June 7th.

Post here, or send to [email protected]

Thanks,

"If you can't grow pumpkins, try tomatoes." In truth, this is what I did. Plus a lot less work for an old guy.

For some it's a hobby

For some it's a sport

For others it's an obsession

"If you are blow'em then you ain't show'em"

The phrase was coined by the same author as:

"If you ain't blow'em you ain't grow'em"
