While it’s been said that a New Year’s resolution is something that goes in one year and out the other, I’d rather go along with television talk show host Oprah Winfrey, who said it best: “Cheers to a New Year and another chance for us to get it right.”

It waa Oprah who said that. But no truer words were ever said for gardeners.
