Garden Glories

Our days are busy and life is brimming with choices.  Yesterday, tossing work to the wind and playing with plants fed my spirit.  A delightfully small and non commercial garden center called Goose Cove, where the owner's passion predominates, is where I wandered. The owner of Goose Cove starts numerous of her offerings from seed.  How rewarding to watch the power of seeds unfolding in springtime.... pure fascination.  Many plants give the gardener early rewards when a seed is placed in the earth.  Morning glories are but one.  In just a few days new life appears and begins growing.  This is the first year of my life that I have grown lettuce from seedlings which is turning out to be a daily feast.  Tasting the exquisite leafs that I am nurturing adds sparkle to salads and my days.  Sweet peas have to be one of my favorites and the painted lady variety has a scent that will take you to heaven.  Making a triangular tent with green bamboo poles for the sweet peas to climb upon and then planting trailing lobelia with it's provencal blue blossom created a fairy like feeling.  I could easily play in the dirt with God's magical creations all day and often times do. Remembering words from the old hymn "I come to the garden alone..."  Feeling blessed to immerse myself in gardening and the diverse places this interest takes me around the world.
