Isaiah 51:3
For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody
Yes, it’s February, but one of the things we are seriously looking into and are starting, is planting our own garden.
There are many plants that can just get started in containers till the weather gets warmer, in addition, many do well in containers without having to dig up a garden.
However, we plan on digging up a garden, in addition to “container gardening” .
Some of the plants we will be planting directly in the ground are:
- Cabbage
- Onions
- Squash
- Garlics
- Carrots
- Bell peppers-Red and Green
Our container plants that we are getting started are:
- Chili peppers
- Cucumbers (Yes, Cucumbers! We learned of a way that involves a large plant container and creating a stand for the vines to grow up on)
- Tomatoes
- Green Onions
- Rosemary
- Basil
- Thyme
As we decide more what we want, I will make sure to update posts here.
Gardens, even the smallest one, can become windows to our inner life. Weeding and cultivating, planting and harvesting, celebrating successes and bemoaning failures can teach us more about ourselves than we might imagine. Garden images abound in the scriptures.- from Gardenening as Prayer
Something I found and is a very useful resource to use and we are using,

is this: Clyde’s Vegetable Planting Slide Chart, the best thing too, is that they are a homeschooling family!

Scripture references to encourage to make your life as fruitful as your garden:
Jeremiah 31:12 (NIV)
They will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion; they will rejoice in the bounty of the LORD— the grain, the new wine and the oil, the young of the flocks and herds. They will be like a well-watered garden,
and they will sorrow no more.

So glad you are doing this. Becoming sufficient on the resources of the Lord’s harvest is a great idea! My dad always planted a garden and we had fresh veggies year ’round.

It definitely brings a deeper appreciation with what our Heavenly Father has blessed us with and also a more awareness of how often we say we need to spend time with the family, but look outward rather than inward.
Gardening is something that all ages can enjoy and particularly in the fruit that our Heavenly Father will bless us.
Love about your dad planting all year round…we’re going to do year round planting and I’m actually looking at learning how to can the food as well.
