Plant Your Garden Today

Sow to yourselves in righteousness, 

reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: 

for it is time to seek the LORD, 

till he come and rain righteousness upon you.

Hosea 10:11-13 (KJV)

Spring is now here and I always enjoy watching the new leaves come out from the trees and also all the flowers that are on the trees.  But spare some throughout for your vegetable garden.  A good time to plant for a summer crop or for a Autumn Harvest.

Fresh vine ripened tomatoes, and lettuce etc for your salads.  (There is something to be said about taste and smell).  The school chaplain where I work added this to our school newsletter.  I wanted to share it with you.

First, plant three rows of peas.

Patience, 

Promptness, and 

Prayer.

Next, plant three rows of squash.

Squash gossip, 

Squash indifference, 

Squash criticism.

Then, five rows of lettuce.

Let us obey the Lord.

Let us be loyal.

Let us be true to our obligations.

Let us be unselfish.

Finish with four rows of turnip.

Turn up when needed.

Turn up with a smile.

Turn up with a vision.

Turn up with determination.
