"The federal govenment has sponsored research that has produced a tomato that is perfect in every respect, except that you can't eat it.  We should make every effort to make sure this disease, often referred to as "progress",  doesn't spread."  Andy Rooney

It is time to plan the yearly garden.  About a year ago we moved our family of 9 (now 10) to Berks county farm country.  One of our first experiences with the locals here, was meeting a wonderful family who having known us less then 24hours.....Loaded up their rotatiller, their heirloom seeds, their 3 kids, and a whole lotta energy.  We spent the afternoon into the evening tilling, planting, getting to know each others families, and feasting.  What a wonderful memory. 

This year things are a bit different, we are a bit more organized (kinda). We took time to order heirloom seeds, and plan out our yearly garden.

 We have so much to gain from planting a garden.  So get ready, make a plan, order some seed, and prepare to get your hands dirty.  Put something extra in your garden that your elderly neighbor might enjoy.  Grab a kid from next door (well maybe don't grab them) invite them to help in the garden.  Children thrive outdoors and it gets them moving, gets them out from in front of the t.v. Helps them feel as if they have a purpose, makes them feel loved, and teaches them how things work.

Those who are generous are blessed, for they share their bread with the poor....Proverbs 22:9

See ya next time...Now get to work
