Spring time displays bursts of color and sprouting green shoots. I planted my first veggie seeds and the cabbage, broccoli, and lettuce plants on March 10 when we had that wonderful reminder that warmer weather was on its way.
On Saturday, April 9, big fluffy snowflakes quickly piled on top of one another to surprise us with 3 inches of snow! These seedlings are quite hardy with temperatures even in the upper 20’s. But two nights when the thermometer plunged to 18-20 degrees I covered them with blankets.
I wasn’t sure how the tulips would fare but as the pictures show they are quite resilient!
Five days after the snow, this is what the plants look like. The garden still looks quite bare with the plants growing slowly. The weeds also are not germinating, thanks to the cooler weather.
This springtime garden gives us hope that even when the fruit in our lives has been put to the test with discouragment and set backs we are still rooted and growing in Christ like character. Watch for the next post, the Harvest has Begun!
So true! Amen
