A quotation from Cicero

MARCUS: As a field, though fertile, cannot yield a harvest without cultivation, no more can the mind without learning.
 
[Ut ager quamvis fertilis sine cultura fructuosus esse non potest, sic sine doctrina animus.]

Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
Tusculan Disputations [Tusculanae Disputationes], Book 2, ch. 5 (2.5) / sec. 13 (2.13) (45 BC) [tr. Peabody (1886)]

“১ বছর ২০ দিন লেগে গেল! প্রথম ৪ জন রিভিউয়ারের প্রায় ৫০+ কমেন্টের পর মনে হয়েছিল আর এগোব না। তবে আমার সুপারভাইজার বলেছিলেন, “রিজেকশনের চেয়ে কমেন্ট ফেস করা ভালো।”

Gardening fail!
When the zucchini grows into a monster. What now? (The fork is here for my protection.)

Pears, descending.

🌀Thy right is to work only, but never to its fruits; let not the fruit-of-action be thy motive, nor let thy attachment be to inaction. (Bhagavad Gita, 2:47)

Silver #cockscomb - very similar to amaranth.
Originally native to #India - it was saved from extinction through #cultivation because of its religious significance. #Indian , #Burmese & #Chinese gardeners usually plant them by temples.

Cockscomb is an #EdiblePlant & a pretty #grain alternative. Often consumed in southern #Nigeria, #Benin , #Congo & #Indonesia. Young stems & flowers are #edible. Seeds are also edible are referred to as #pseudocereals.
