After a long hiatus, I’ve decided it’s time to start writing again… there hasn’t been a lot to write about… Mostly, we’ve been hibernating in our little homestead on wheels trying to figure out exactly what it is we want to do!
We’ve talked about making the move back to a more traditional homestead… and we’ve talked about what seeds to grow in our garden…
This indecision has brought us to the month of June and we’ve yet to plant anything!
It’s not because I don’t want a garden this year – because I do!
It has more to do with a lack of direction!
When February came, I had every intention of planting a few cool weather crops in our little 4×4 square foot garden, however Mom had other ideas!
With our limited space for growing, Mom decided she wanted to grow up rather than out!
She’s had her eye on a 5-tiered garden planter that would allow us to grow a minimum of 30 individual plants at one time. A far cry more than our 4×4 garden would allow!
So, I decided I would tear down the existing garden, rake the soil into the earth and make room for this tiered garden she spoke of!
However, when I went to tear it down, I found several voluntary plants growing in our little garden bed!
“Well,” I thought, “I can’t tear down what God has obviously allowed to grow!” So I reasoned that God wanted us to stay put… at least for now… and we have 5 voluntary tomato plants growing in our garden to prove it!
Mom’s much desired 5-tiered garden has arrived, so now we’re finally ready to plant our garden! We even have plans to purchase a few starter plants… that’s assuming we can still find some!
