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. *;-))

I only know because my late Mother was always asking St Jude for help,
particularly whenever I failed my Latin exams, which was frequently.
In fact at lunch today with friends, I was asked to finish some saying
in Latin and I am ashamed to say I had totally forgotten it and found
it difficult to recall much of it. *Fortunately my clever clogs
husband still remembers everything he learned!!!!
