Garden of Hope: A Porch Garden

A Porch Garden

Living in the city is nothing like the country. This has been a little bit of an adjustment I have had to make especially with some of the things that I liked to do with more land. One of these things is gardening. You can't do to much with a back porch but this season I am determined to make the most of it. Last weekend I went to an herb festival, and picked up a few plants. When I was on the farm I would plant the seeds myself. But because of the good deals I found, I couldn't help but buy a few starts. These are what I found.

Mint

Rosemary

Basil

Garlic Chives

Echinacea

And this is another picture of Basil, I just liked this one too!!

And Lord willing my little starts will turn into vibrant fruit barring herbs that bring seasonings to my cooking!! :) I also plan to either get more seeds or plants to fill up the porch with more flowers or herbs, and maybe a few vegetables.

I look forward to seeing how your plants do. :) If you're interested in some veggie seedlings, let me know as I'd be happy to share a few with you. :)

Psalms 8

O Lord, our Lord, how majectic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. Out of the mouths of babies and infants, you hve established strength because of your foes, to still the enemy and the advenger. When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man to be mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? Yes you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. You have given him dominon over the works of you hands; you have put all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field, the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the path of the sea. O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Psalms 1

Blessed in the man who walks not in the councel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the Lord and on his law he meditaes day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yeilds its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all he does, he prospers. This wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous; for the Lord knows the was of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
