I wish to put a plaque on the front of my shed of the Patron Saint of
Vegetable Growing.

But which Saint is it?

Ed


Saint Adelard is the patron saint of gardeners, Saint Fiacre is patron saint
to those growing foods and herbs and Saint Isidore is patron saint to
farmers. You'll have to make the appropriate personal choice.

Saint Fiacre is also patron saint to taxi drivers and venereal disease
suffers if this helps at all with your decision making.

Val



Or there's St. Anthony, the Patron Saint of lost causes. ;-))


Sounds like there's a story in there somewhere. Just have a nice sit
down and a warm cup. It will be OK. Besides, it's a little early in the
year to be throwing in the towel. Stiff upper lip, and all that sort of
thing, don't you know ;O)
