Lily of the Valley T-Shirt humorous By the time the shelves

By the time the shelves are full

because a real tomato grower has never once looked at the harvest and thought that's plenty

While the calendar turns over its big round numbers

Fresh petals

like anything worth growing

Lily of the Valley T-Shirt humorous By the time the shelvesFor gardeners who keep a soft spot for the flowers that bloom low and ring like tiny bells. Lily of the valley arrives in May without fanfare, tucked under broad leaves, sweet enough to find with eyes closed. Convallaria majalis, the old books say. Tender grace, the heart says. It returns each spring to the shadiest corner and makes it the loveliest. For May birthdays and the mothers who love delicate things, it carries a quiet kind of devotion.
