My orders for onion sets and seed potatoes will arrive next week and will be planted once the soil dries a bit; my favorite summer crops that will be directly seeded in the garden are still in their seed packets waiting for consistently warm weather before they find purchase in the soil.

Controlling certain weeds takes some strategic planning and mid-March the game begins! I personally don't care about weeds in the lawn but I do try to keep them out of the landscape beds and the vegetable garden. Friday, March 19, 2021

"Please don't take your life! We love you more than you know and want you to get help." Those are the words I wish I could go back and tell my nephew. Almost two years ago exactly he unexpectedly took his own life at the age of 20.

The fourth commandment tells us that we are to honor our father and our mother and now that we are in a new year I think it would be wise for us to take a moment to reflect upon and ponder these words. What does it mean to honor your father and mother?
