One Is Nearer
God's Heart in a Garden Than Any Place Else on Earth In my home, there is a needlepoint hanging that says, "One is nearer God's heart in a garden than any place else on Earth." I must admit that I do a lot of praying and looking into my own actions and deeds when I work in a garden. It is a relaxing time - and a productive time. I love to stand back and look at the flowers in bloom, the vegetables growing - seemingly right before my eyes. I especially love to eat what I have grown with my own two hands. The world has become so fast that the humbling experiences learned in a garden become a quick break into the reality of it all. Nature controls here on the Eastern Shore. I must deal with salt, high tides, wind and bugs. Oh, and let's not forget the wild animals! This is my greatest triumph or my sorest defeat. I used to plant in the sandy soil of Anne Arundel County - quite a breeze when I compare it to now. Now, I do a lot of container plantings. Something new for me. I'll let you know how it is going from time to time. I would like to share some books and
links for gardeners - even your young gardeners. The best
way to get some of those youngsters to eat healthily -
let them grow it! The miracle of a little seed, leaves,
flowers and then a small something that turns into a
vegetable is a treat for any child! Books
that Made the Movies CUSTOM MADE
GARDENING APRONS!!!!
