Now This

The sheep have delivered all their lambs, two litters of puppies have arrived, and I am finished planting “Garden 2012”.  Now this! Isa.40:31  Those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.

Back up Plan

Planting Beans

I planted Scarlett Runner pole beans, Provider green bears and Pencil Pod wax beans this morning.  We have a grand crop of dandelions that should be pulled up. However, it is more fun to plant beans!

Planting Green Things

I am planting “Green things” in my square foot gardens. The plants look good and have healthy root systems.  I started the plants from seed in March. Swiss Chard, Red Kale, and Collard greens went in today. Five varieties of lettuce were planted yesterday.  All this green stuff makes for wonderful salads. The steamed greens […]
