:D" Garden update

When last I wrote about my garden, the length of the garden hose still presented a dilemma. I had managed to buy a supplemental hose to reach the garden and, although it reached the garden, there was nothing extra to reach the plants within the garden. That was two weeks ago.

Since then nature has provided a temporary solution in that we have had at least 6” of rain during that time.  Between rains I have added another geranium, one with a showy variegated leaf with a pretty pink flower; a single strawberry plant; a crook neck squash, mostly for its entertainment value; a zucchini and a cucumber.

I am pleased to find that all of the plants have survived and are thriving to varying degrees;  even my little butter crunch lettuce.  There is still plenty of room for more.

As for the hose, I have concluded that an additional 100’ is in order!  I have invested in fence panels to create an enclosure for a horse some 80’ west of the garden.  He will need water, too.

Just a reminder- God causes all things to work together for good.  Romans 8:28
