Garden Updates & Visions of Fall
Good Evening! Our pantry shelves are beginning to fill up with jars of home-canned green beans. Three pickings have provided enough beans for 20 quarts, and there's another 9 quarts in the process of being canned right now. God is so good. Earlier in the season the beans were growing so slowly that I was praying for them to mature rapidly. Now the girls are ready to be done picking. (They've only just begun) Tomatoes too have begun to ripen. While their progress isn't as speedy as that of the beans, I have enjoyed their little bites of sunshine very much. It's even looking as if our corn may provide us with ears to eat as well. It was so tiny on July 4th that we wondered if it would be tassling before frost. How very blessed we are! Oh yes, can't forget to share the update on our little four-year-old's pea patch. Her two little pea plants each have two little pods growing on them. The funny thing about this is that it may be that all of us big kids are more excited than the peas' planter is about those two pea plants with their pods. We had all hoped so much for her pea plants to grow and produce for her that we're the ones excited about those few little pods hanging in the garden. It makes me think of the verse that says "Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when the desire is fulfilled, it is a tree of life." (Prov. 13:12) AMP
What's going on in your garden? If you don't have a garden of your own this year feel free to share about a favorite from years past or a gardening story. Just comment on this post or send me an email. I'll make sure and get it on the blog for today's visit. I found a gardening plan to pass on. I'll end our chat with it.
