One of the lovely features of square foot gardening is that one is always rearranging their produce. This morning I pulled out the spent bean plants and chard planting cabbage, carrots, cilantro and more beans in their place. It feels sad to pull up the old. but invigorating to plant the new. The snap peas are almost done producing. I think I will plant cantaloupe in their place.
In a few short days I will see new growth. I love my garden. It reminds me of the old stuff in my life that is just hanging around taking up space and sapping nutrients from my soul. I need to do some rearranging there, as well. Plant some new seeds to enjoy the new growth. Tending the garden of my soul is well worth the effort.
Tending the garden of my soul.......
hmmmmm, there's a poem there, I just know it. I'll be pondering that all day
This is a blog of hope. As I garden, I pour out my hopes and dreams in prayerful meditation. I am reminded of truths and life lessons learned that can be described in gardening terms. This blog will hold some poetry, some famous quotes, some favorite song lyrics, and mostly my gardening updates. Read along and reap with me the lessons of faith and hope that I gather from my garden.

What a mess!
I just got home from vacation and wandered back to the garden. My oh my what a week of no attention will do! I have my work cut out for me. Good thing I took another day off.
There are tomatoes on the vines, and peppers on all three bushes. The cucumbers are gaining strength and the corn is getting taller. I am excited to see what the next month or two will bring!
I need to plant some more melons. Three sisters plot is ready for beans. The weather is finally right for them. I love my garden. June gloom or no, summer is on the way!
