Musings on Gardening

Yesterday, we spent our morning planting. I have always thought of this in a romantic way, however, yesterday's experience, has taught me new things. The ground is hard, to hoe it up and ready it for planting is hard work. Once done, it is a small area maybe two feet by five feet. Gladiolas are planted there. Weeding the beds that are overgrown is not, by far, romantic. However, now there is lavender, blueberries, raspberries and marigolds planted there. The fruit of this hard work will not be immediate but if the Lord blesses it, it will be a good harvest.
