New Growth

 

"So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth."

  I Corinthians 3:7  

Radishes!

 Of course, Paul wasn't talking about a garden here - he was speaking of the spiritual growth of the believers in Corinth. However, I like this verse because, even as I'm gardening, it reminds me that all good things come from God and Him alone. As the vegetables in our garden continue to grow, I am continually reminded that I cannot take credit for their growth. Sure, I have to make sure I'm being responsible in my care for them, but is not God the only one who can actually make them grow? Is He not the Sovereign One     who sustains all things?  

It's been amazing to see God provide us not only the means to maintain this garden but also continue to add to it and experiment as we learn. Here are some new updates and additions!    

Spinach is making an appearance.

Yellow Pepper plants getting started in pots. Our plan is to transplant these into the garden bed once we harvest the radishes in about a week and a half.

We added three more tomato plants!

 

We added two marigold plants to help keep bugs and such at bay.

 

            Note: Because I started the blog a week or so into the garden, my updates are about a week behind. So what you will see in the next blog entry is what our garden actually looks like as I write this one.
