“The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?”Psalm 27:1
Whew, with the storms that we had yesterday, and the green that is popping up all around, gardening is definitely on my mind! One of my favorite things to do this time of year is to buy garden books and peruse Pinterest for inspiration! This year is our third season with our small garden…and when I say small in size, I don’t mean in work, it can be very difficult and trying! Let me give you an example…one of our Japanese Maples is coming out very slowly, and a soft touch holly appears to be struggling! Last summer and fall brought us the worst drought that I can ever remember! Although we watered constantly, it doesn’t replace the good rain sent from our Father. Lately we have had significant rain during winter and early spring. I have much to learn, but I am enjoying the planning and planting….there’s always room to learn, right? Grab a cup of coffee or tea and enjoy the “glorious gardens” that I am sharing!

We worked in our garden last Saturday. As you can see, we are not finished. The weather has been warm… and yesterday we were under tornado watches! This weekend could be frost…welcome to our Alabama!
I ran out yesterday between thunderstorms and took these shots. Everything is greening up nicely. Hopefully that means we can start planting annuals soon.
The zoysia is a warm weather grass, so it is slow to green up…but when it does, it’s a showstopper!
