Jeremiah's Garden

"Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them." Jeremiah 29:5

The ranch hand planted okra, onions, cucumbers, garlic, zuchini, and pole beans in the garden this beautiful weekend.

Yeah, the ground temperature ain't right and another frost or two will occur, but it was just somethin' that needed doin'?

There is something indescribable about the pleasure in planting a seed, nurturing its growth, and ultimately feasting on the harvest.

There ain't no ambition to ever rival the garden magic of Grandaddy, but I reckon he would be OK with his grandson poking a seed or two in the ground to carry on the legacy.

Now why are those damn deer back in the brush licking their lips so enthusiastically?
