Your garden is wonderful! You do know, though, that mint is invasive don’t you? I’m not a very experienced gardener, so you may have it under control, but I wanted to make sure you know. We grow our mint in an old tool box to keep it “corralled.”

Enjoy a blessed summer!

Your garden looks amazing! Today I went for a walk down our road and as I walked past our house, I envisioned what it can be when all is done. I’m longing for more grass, more gardens, fences…etc…

I thoroughly walking through my friends’ yards! I get a joy looking at flowers, vegetables, landscapes…what fun.

As for my garden, I’m not doing one this year. Not enough time or nice weather to get out there and do it. So I’m focusing on getting my raspberries and blueberries to survive the deer and produce some berries!

You know I also feel my mom’s presence at times. She has been gone for 17 years but there are days that I feel if I looked behind me I would see her smiling back at me. Our mothers were our first loves and the ones who make everything better no matter what the circumstances. My mom came to know the Lord when I was 18 years old and actually brought me to church with her not long after on Mother’s Day. That was the day I received the Lord. My mother and I were very close I have 2 brothers and they both also came to the Lord because of my mom. Oh what a glorious day it will be when we all have a awesome reunion up in Heaven!!!
Blessings to you and yours

Gee! Your garden is beautiful and amazing! We live in West Texas. Our gardens NEVER look like yours. We are starting a new garden spot at our “new” home. Just sprayed the grass there with round-up. Watering in a few days so we can till up the ground then plant! Yea! I think I will try some lettuces…..you have inspired me. Lettuces are not normal garden produce in this part of the country. I’ll let you know how they turn out!:)
