#OTD Ethelind Fearon, #English #Gardener & #Writer, is born.

In her book, The #Reluctant Gardener (1952), she wrote,

With #Flowers, as w/ all [things] #Garden, you 1st decide what #Kind you #Want to #Grow, & then whittle it down to what CAN grow in the space.

When you [Review] the #List & Reduce it to what you can #Afford to grow,
& then #Eliminate the ones you know from #Bitter #Experience will #Refuse to grow,
You #Save a very #Great deal of labour, indeed.
