One of the things I enjoy doing this time of year is to look at garden and seed books/catalogs. It would make me look forward to putting out a garden. These pics I will be showing you are from a few years ago at my farmhouse.
With all this cold, long winter, I can't wait till I can get back to gardening. But it may not be this year because of all the work that's going on at the cottage.
One of my favorite garden books is called Down the Garden Path. It's a garden book but with comparison of our life to the Bible.
Beautiful blooms and a bountiful harvest requires good soil.
In the Bible, Jesus use a word picture of garden dirt to help us understand how the beauty and the bounty of our character, our life, and our deeds are dependent upon the condition of our Heart (soil).
The seed of God's Word requires GOOD SOIL to germinate, take root, grow deep and bear abundant fruit.

Create in me a rich and fertile (heart) soil. O God, and clean out every weed that keeps me from enjoying your presence and bringing you glory........
