Because we are just renting our house here on the high arid plains, and because our house is a particular target for deer and other wonderfully pesky . . . I mean wonderfully wild creatures, one of our friends was nice enough to give us and another friend use of part of her garden plot outside of town (and far away from the pests . . . I mean deer).
So we've all planted a ton, and are taking turns watering our "community garden". We're hoping that we'll be able to enjoy some tasty organic produce grown in this high, arid, sage-brush country. We're hoping.
These pictures were taken a few weeks ago, and you can't really tell it here, but we actually have a lot that is up and growing - tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, lettuce, peas, potatoes, cabbage, collard greens, onions, collard greens, corn, strawberries, and more.
Like I said, it may be hard to tell at this point - but we do have great expectations for the harvest. We'll see!
Faithfulness springs forth from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven.
The LORD will indeed give what is good, and our land will yield its harvest.
- Psalms 85:11-12
