We are so excited , we have lots of sprouts ! Some may wonder why something so simple can be so exciting. " Dirt Therapy " as I sometimes call it can do wonders for the spirit. Planting those tiny little seeds that will become food for our family and friends is such a miracle. God gave us our hands to be able to provide and use them for his glory. This provides for us food, family time and also a great homeschooling project. Matthew helped to plant the seeds in the pods and will help to transplant to the garden when they are ready, he is keeping a chart of the growth progress of each plant. When he did his measuring yesterday, he was amazed at how some had grown so quickly ! When I look at these sprouts, I hear God softly whispering that he is always with us and there are miracles everywhere if we just
take time to look and listen.
"When I see that first, minuscule, curled, pale green wisp of a sprout poking up between a couple of grains of vermiculite, I hear God speaking." June Santon

Dirt therapy - I absolutely agree!
I wasn't able to have a 'real' garden last year, but did a few things in containers and alongside the house. I just bought my house two weeks ago and it is going to be a good while before I'm even close to what you would call settled, so I haven't started any seeds yet, but I need to get that done.
I have never got the whole 'diggin in the dirt thing' and never enjoyed gardening. I had to do it every summer all the years I was growing up and promised myself that, when I grew up, I WOULD NOT have to dig in the dirt! I kept that promise to myself. Lately, I've had this urge to plant some things. I don't know where it's comin from? Am I turning into my parents?! Oh no, this means I'm getting OLD!!!! :0
I have decided I will start slow, very slow! I am going to put some perennials in and see how that goes for this year. I'm thinkin day lillies, maybe iris and some daisies. I actually have a wonderful friend in East TN who has volunteered to share from her garden with me! I'm looking forward to my experiment. We'll see how it goes?!!!
