SEEDS for the Garden - - -
A few weeks ago, we filled
two aluminum pans, and some left over containers from a six pack of flowers
with potting soil. Holes were punched
in the bottoms of the pans so they could drain.
Inside the two pans full of potting soil;
we emptied a packet of tomato seeds. They
are beginning to sprout, but the tomato plants are very tiny. There are so many that we will need to find
someone to share them with.

In the six pack, we placed some squash seeds that we had saved from last summer. One is poking through and two others are almost ready.
While I was watering our
seeds, I noticed our bushes of Viburnum all across our back fence are in full bloom.

On Sunday, I will break off
enough from both of these bushes to make a nice bouquet for church.

Robert has rototilled our
area where we will plant, and he will do one more run soon.
I hope you can see that my
chard on the left of the photo is doing well and is ready for another cutting.
It is amazing how a dead seed
can come to life and bring beauty, smells, and delicious food for our
lively-hood. The dead will come alive!
I am reminded that God has promised us that the
dead “In Christ,” will rise first, and then we who are alive and serving Jesus will be
caught up with them in the air to meet our Lord.

Your garden is looking wonderful, Hazel! And those tomato seedlings look so healthy. My Dad always used to have a fun competition with my Grandpa to see whose tomato plants yielded tomatoes first each year :) Have a lovely weekend.
I've never had a garden... but I do have two orange trees in the backyard! I love to smell them even though I'm allergic... You make gardening sound like fun... One of these days, Hazel. One of these days...
Your nature is already something further than here in the Netherlands. 'No blooming bushes and trees here. But everyone is busy in the garden. I have seeds for mini-sunflowers and seeds for mini tomato.
Thank you for your hopeful blog. Nice link to biblical truth.
