Lindsay Wegert Zone 7a VA commented on Randy Anderson zn.5/Il. USA's group Wildlife Forum"Sometimes the wildlife gets a bit too close and personal! I have trapped 8 different groundhogs and relocated them over 20 miles from the house. Unfortunately, a new one or a whole nursing family moves into the burrow we stuffed with rocks and made…"

Gardener's Prayer
shafts of light brighten the darkness,
as the light of day once more graces this earth.
My heart feels deep gratitude
for this earth created by my use.
My thankful heart opens my senses,
and expands my awareness of all around me!
Look at the beautiful greenery!
The trees, shrubs, plants, even the weeds,
they're beautiful!
See the fruits & vegetables
produced by plants of this earth for my use.
The flavors, the textures, the colors!
The plants are nourished by this earth
just as I am.
They grow where they are planted,
and need water, sun and nourishment.
Just as I do as a human living on this earth.
But I have to work by the sweat of my brow
to provide a good environment for these plants to grow.
I am becoming like God.
I am a child of God,
having success thru my efforts
caring for my little patch of earth,
working by the sweat of my brow
all the days of my life tilling the earth.
As I work,
appreciation for my efforts,
and the blossoming earth around me
fills my heart with joy,
I pray as I work in my garden,
and then leaning on my hoe,
I see shafts of light illuminate the greenery,
as once more I feel the sun's warmth,
blessing my garden.

Hi all!
I moved to Northern Virginia 10 years ago from Maryland. Nothing but shale rock to put the roots into! Now I LOVE rock, but I prefer it above the ground. So disappointing to an enthusiastic gardener. I had to bring in hardscape to raise the beds and dump truck load after load of rich black topsoil later, we finally are getting somewhere! My raised beds will soon be filled with my… Continue

Randy Anderson zn.5/Il. USA said… - Thanks for thinking of me. I'm getting stronger but need to get doing more. I'm glad your thinking of the smell of dirt in the spring, too. I'm so far behind on my garden clean-up. My plans for next year are just to thin out the plants I have, but with these knees I'm not going to add any more beds. There's enough work as it is! I looked at your pictures again that you'd posted in Sept. and I'd like spring here now!
