I'm linking up again today with the community of awesome writers at Lisa Jo Baker's blog for Five Minute Friday. Fridays are the day to write for five minutes straight and not back track. It's a day to just write for the fun of it and see what happens. Head on over to Lisa's blog to read some other great stories with the prompt "garden".
****************************************************
My husband and my oldest son both planted their first
gardens last spring. They got together more than once to talk gardening, dirt, what seeds are the best
the gardeners discussing gardening |
and what’s better, containers, the ground or raised
beds.
I heard more talk about gardening last spring than I have in my entire
life.
prepare the soil |
My son even did some winter sowing. He collected empty
strawberry containers and other plastic boxes and planted seeds in the spring
before it was even warm.
I even think it snowed a couple of times, but those
boxes of seeds sat out on his back porch in the early spring sunshine,
and they
sprouted.

Then one day, my husband went over and helped him plant
those seedlings in the best dirt.
My son made sure it was organic and he’d also
put mulch in there for good measure.

How like this I want to be.
I want to plant good seeds
into good soil in my life.
I want the good dirt, the organic dirt, so the seeds
of love, compassion, joy, peace and all other good things can get a good start
and keep growing and growing into maturity.
My one word for this year is Cultivate and how fitting.
The seeds that have been planted in my soul, the good seed, I need to
cultivate. I need to work that ground through making good choices and living my
life one experience at a time.
I’m already working on my garden.
I’m already
preparing my soil.
I’m already
preparing my soil.
I can’t wait till this spring when my husband and son
start planting again.
