Wow! What a time in the garden this morning.
Yesterday I came home and some of my pots were PISSED! They were scorched. And some of my tomatoes were a little wilty. I thought uh oh! Better get on this! I spent a little extra time watering last night. Mostly everything sprung back. That wilting tomato plant wasn’t 100% yet. It got drenched. The garden reminds me, if I don’t stayed watered I wilt, and I can’t produce fruit.
Im going to help Phyllis today with the new house and so that makes it difficult to do EVERYTHING that needs to be done if I stick to my normal schedule of church in the morning. (Also why do I keep sending my prescriptions to a pharmacy that has limited hours?!? I must change this.)
I took the lunches this morning early and stopped at the fruit and veggie market on the way home. I had to make breakfast, LHM, I was HUNGRY. I ate it on the patio and my heart knew it needed to spend some time in the garden. The tomatoes were in a desperate need of haircuts and everything needed a really good watering.
One of the things I do to make sure the water really gets in the dirt is htat I bring out a 5 gallon bucket, fill it (twice) for each garden bed and give everything a good drink. It takes a little longer, I start doing something and before I know it the bucket is overflowing – but everything gets watered well. The ground soaks in the water as if to say “thank you I was so thirsty”
In my time out there it’s either Stevie Wonder or worship music, since its Sunday, I opted for worship music. And did a lot of praying out there. It was a good and yet hard time out there, sometimes the Holy Spirit tells me things I don’t want to hear, but it’s always for my good.
Its really beautiful out in the garden. Even in the areas that aren’t filled with flowers. It’s really amazing how something can start from the smallest seed and turn into a veg. like carrots or beets or tomatoes. Am I the only one?
Tomorrow I go back to work and I’ll tell you when I closed my laptop on Thursday I was more stressed than I should have been. 4 day work weeks are just 5 pounds of poop in a 4 pound bag.
Tomorrow is a new day.
There are some hard things I need to and will address. There are some great things planned!
I’m looking forward to those things!
And there will be time in my favorite place…
