Our Garden....

As most of you know, we live in the city, but long for the country. Not a huge farm, just a small place, with enough room for a few chickens, a cow, and an out building or two. Big enough for us... but until then, we make do with what we have, and what we do have are small garden areas that produce enough for us to can a few items, and freeze some. We enjoy bringing our piece of farm to the city, and will continue to do so until the Lord either gives us a place in the country to call our own, or He calls us home.....


We think our gardens are doing pretty good though!


Check these out!


Our tomato plants just under my kitchen window....


The raised garden bed that hubby built for me... this year it's holding green beans and brussel sprouts...


Here's the back garden bed..... we have cucumbers, tomato plants, pepper plants and cabbages in this one!


This used to be a flower bed.. now it hold greens and beans....


OH! And had to throw this in... we planted an apple tree a few years back. First year none... now, about 3 years later (maybe 4), there's 12 apples. Not much, but it makes us happy!  :)


I guess what I'm trying to say is, when the Lord said to be content with what you have, He meant this... we're making do with what He has graciously provided. And we are happy.....


Even using His sunshine to dry my clothes! LOL!
