Once while Francis of Assisi was hoeing his garden, he was asked, "What would you do if you suddenly learned that you were to die at sunset today?" He replied, "I would finish hoeing my garden."
Inch by inch, row by row, I'm gonna make this garden grow,
All it takes is a rake & a hoe & a piece of fertile ground,
Inch by inch, row by row, someone bless these seeds I sow,
Someone warm them from below till the rains come tumbling down.
Pullin' weeds & pickin' stones, we are made of dreams & bones,
I feel the need to grow my own cause the time is close at hand,
Grain for grain, sun & rain,
I'll find my way in nature's chain,
I'll tune my body & my brain to the music of the land.
[Peter, Paul & Mary..."GARDEN
SONG"]
Raised garden beds promote good drainage, prevent soil compaction as are not walked upon, & make gardening easier.
Gardeners are always seeking creative & interesting ways to display their flowers..here's 2 examples...look around for unusual containers for your potted plants.
In my neighborhood, we give garden tours; we share seeds, flowers,& vegetables. We visit & sit out in each others' yards & enjoy what our friends have done. No matter how small or how large your yard & garden may be, it can give you pleasure, food, exercise and beauty to the eye.
