Patience


The spring rains have set in and while I have seed in the ground, I whish I had planted other things.  This rain will bring things springing to the surface and beyond.  In the past I have worked some stuff in the garden while it was wet.  If setting plants it works well if you have raised beds but I don’t, so I wade though mud up to 8 inches deep sometimes.  

I have been enjoying our asparagus I love to just pick and eat it raw, on the spot.  But alas I have to put some on the table for everyone else.

We have finished the apple trees and they are now budding leaves out with some red showing.  

Waiting again!

 

I have cobbled together all the supplies needed for the new bees I ordered and again I wait for their arrival.  They should arrive this coming week.  I will try to get some pictures of them.  It is hard as I need a second person when it comes to getting pictures of them.  For some reason no one wants to be around when I get into them.

Yesterday I went to the nursery and bought some more plants; more broccoli and some tomatoes plants and some jalapeño plants (yes I still buy plants but I’m working on that, next year).  Sunday I will set the broccoli plants and after the coming cold snap I will set all the rest of the plants.  Yes I gamble sometimes but I think this will be the last freeze/frost. 

It’s Sabbath and what a relief it is to sit quietly and feel God’s arms around you.
