We are planning on starting a garden this year, starting literally from the ground up with container garden as we get the yard ready for actual planting.
Psalm 92:13 (New International Version)
planted in the house of the LORD,
they will flourish in the courts of our God.
This is our first year and among that, we wanted to get ready for winter planting, but in the meantime we are starting off with, I have to say, a good start of plants that will offer just as much from a container.
Well…while my husband and I were talking, I went to get an onion from our wire vegetable basket and one of our onions were beginning to sprout.
Although this one won’t be ready for planting, please correct me if I’m wrong Gentle Readers, this onion will eventually yield seeds to actually plant onions from.
For as the earth brings forth its bud, as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth, so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
~ Isaiah 61:11(NKJV)
I’m still learning about gardening so if anyone out there can offer me some insight, that would be fantastic, but I wanted to say a quick prayer of praise to our Heavenly Father, for what we feel is a good start on being not only self-sufficient but just learning to appreciate what He blesses us with.
The kids are excited since, though we haven’t officially started working on studying plants, apparently our Heavenly Father has decided to get us started on our “raising a garden” lesson.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your humor and blessings and promises of hope each day.
Like plants, our growth in Jesus Christ, starts as a small sprout, bursting through where we feel there is nothing that can be grown. We may feel we are “dead soils”, but in and through Jesus Christ, we are ripe for growth in His arms.
1 Corinthians 3:7 (New International Version)
So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow
