What's Growing?

A few green tomato's...

A few squash...

That's it for now, but I'll take it!

Jeremiah 29:5

" . . plant gardens and eat what they produce . . ."

I got nothing...

Yet....

But it's a growing! Yay for Rain, Yay for good dirt!

We have this song on a kids cd that we listen to in the car, Laynee's K Program sang it too. Laynee sangs it everytime we go outside and she sees the garden. I think it's so cute!

Oats, Peas, Beans and Barley Grow

Oats, peas, beans, and barley grow,

Oats, peas, beans, and barley grow,

Can you or I or anyone know

How oats, peas, beans, and barley grow?

First the farmer sows his seed,

Stands erect and takes his ease,

He stamps his foot and claps his hands,

And turns around to view his lands.

Next the farmer waters the seed,

Stands erect and takes his ease,

He stamps his foot and claps his hands,

And turns around to view his lands.

Next the farmer hoes the weeds,

Stands erect and takes his ease,

He stamps his foot and claps his hands,

And turns around to view his lands.

Last the farmer harvests his seed,

Stands erect and takes his ease,

He stamps his foot and claps his hands,

And turns around to view his lands.

Can you smell them?

My back steps/porch smells wonderful every afternoon!

In the Garden

“In order to live off a garden, you practically have to live in it.” - Frank McKinney Hubbard Rocky Gowers (AKA my dad) This sounds just like something he would say.

As a child we worked in the garden…a lot. You took your shoes off at the beginning of it and worked barefoot, there was nothing like cool dirt in between your toes. At the time I will admitt I hated working in the garden, there was always dirt pies to be made, trampolines to jump on and and swings to be swung in! After many years have passed from the time when I was barefoot in the garden I have finally decided to start my own…soon and very soon I will have a garden in my back yard. Not even a quarter of the size mine was growing up, but enough. These are the items I'm having it in, maybe next year it will be bigger and more veggies.

Jeremiah 29:5 Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them;

Happy Gardening Ya'll!
