GREENER-GRASS

A direct result of the grazing, musing and wandering of a sheep striving to follow the Good Shepherd.

Garden Update

I am on my way out the door to go to Journalism Camp at Patrick Henry College (Virginia) this next week. I am really looking forward to it, as I will be able to find out if I like to write enough to make it my career. I'll tell ya'll what I learned once I get back...yes, I am having a hard time collecting my thoughts from the CHEC conference; I still want to put my recap on here, but I just couldn't get it done this week...thanks for being patient with me!

Despite being very busy with organizing a Generation Joshua club, traveling, writing, working, and getting ready for the chickens to arrive, we have been able to maintain our garden. In fact, it's looking better than it ever has and the great part is, it's almost COMPLETELY ORGANIC!

That's right, excepting the mini pumpkins and tomato plants, the rest was started from certified organic seed from Seeds of Change. We're hoping that the lush plants will bear bountiful fruit, especially considering that potatoes and broccoli are new to our garden. I thought you might enjoy a few pictures of our plot...

I will be coming home on July 1, so until then, enjoy your summer and may Yahweh bless you!
