Reading my favorite book this morning, I discovered some interesting information about gardening! In the second chapter it says that after God created the earth and heaven, but no plants had yet sprouted because it had not yet rained, and there was no one to cultivate the ground. Instead a mist rose up and watered the surface of the ground. No wonder, gardeners recommend that little seedlings be misted. Then a little later, God planted a garden. There were trees for beauty and trees for food, and other trees for other things. Then, presumably after the garden had grown for a while, God put man in the garden to cultivate it and keep it. What a great idea! Who doesn't enjoy the peace and beauty of a lovely garden. This picture is a tiny portion of Leu Gardens in Florida, where we visited last January. They call this the Color Garden. When I saw this, I determined to create a Color Garden along the north side of our back yard. We will see. It is an ambitious project and we also have a Vegetable Garden project planned. I do have the plants, though. Stay tuned. LOL
