Spring fever is attacking, and it is time to get out and take care of the weeds and get the garden in good shape. This morning I weeded a good portion of the raised bed garden. Got all the weeds out of this section, except for the grass. The grass has deep, thick roots; and somebody a little stronger will have to do that part. Right now there are some potatoes and a few kale plants growing in this section of the garden. Not sure what else we will plant. Perhaps some more greens? Later in the year there will probably be watermelons. Last year the bugs and animals got some of the watermelons before we did, and we just left them in the garden. The sugarbabies have lots of seeds. Last year they reseeded them selves quite well, so we expect the same this year. There is still some hay on the garden from last year, but a lot of that is already broken down and become part of the soil. We'll probably get some mulch to help keep the moisture in as the ground is getting dry already. There are lots of earthworms, which is a good thing; it means the soil is healthy.
In another area is a small patch where peas and onions are growing. In the middle of that patch is some other kind of plants. If I am not mistaken, they look like carrots. Well, I did plant some carrot seeds a couple of years ago. Guess it's about time for them to germinate. :-)
I hope that, if you have a garden, it does well, and that you enjoy the good green herb of the field. And I hope that your soul prospers as well as your garden. God bless!
"1Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. 2My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass: 3Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God. 4He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he." (Deuteronomy 32:1-4)
