Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. – Galatians 6:9 (NIV)
This is the first year since I was a young boy that I have tried my hand at gardening. The motivation oddly enough was not a desire to garden but a passion for cooking. I wanted fresh herbs and vegetables. Which means I have to garden.
Part of my daily routine is to check on my plants – the garden beds in the back yard and the container plants on the front patio. This morning I spotted the following:
For months I have nurtured and nursed the dozen or so tomato plants – which I planted way too close together I now realize. Some have died. Most have been ravaged by insects – mainly leafminers. I have been concerned. After all that time and effort will I end up with nothing? Tall plants but no fruit?
