Gardening

We have recently started working on our garden. It has been tilled for a while but here where we are we don't usually plant until the end of May or beginning of June but even now we have had so much rain that getting back outside to finish planting or weeding is a bit of a challenge. This morning the children and I went out and weeded in the drizzling rain just to try to get ahead a bit. We still have lots more work to do! Anyway, this afternoon I was looking through a book of B#2's and ran across this about planting your garden so I thought I would share it.

Planting Your Gardens

As you begin the planting season, may I suggest the following for your gardens.

Plant three rows of squash:
1.Squash gossip.
2.Squash criticism.
3.Squash indifference

Plant three rows of peas:
1. Purity
2. Patience
3. Perseverence

Plant six rows of lettuce:
1. Let us be unselfish
2. Let us be faithful to duty
3. Let us search the Scriptures
4. Let us not be weary in well-doing
5. Let us be obedient in all things
6. Let us love one another

No Garden is complete without turnips
1. Turn up for church
2. Turn up with a smile, even when things are difficult
3. Turn up to always do your personal best
4. Turn up for your family and friends as needed.
