How To Plant Your Garden

December 27, 2012 at 7:00 am · Filed under handy hints

This little treasure was sent to me many a long month ago via email. I know that many people begin planning the garden for the year ahead in the quiet days post feasting, so I thought I would share it with you now.

How To Plant Your Garden:

FOR THE GARDEN OF YOUR DAILY LIVING, PLANT THREE ROWS OF PEAS:

  1. Peace of mind
  2. Peace of heart
  3. Peace of soul

PLANT FOUR ROWS OF SQUASH:

  1. Squash gossip
  2. Squash indifference
  3. Squash grumbling
  4. Squash selfishness

PLANT FOUR ROWS OF LETTUCE:

  1. Lettuce be faithful
  2. Lettuce be kind
  3. Lettuce be patient
  4. Lettuce really love one another

NO GARDEN IS WITHOUT TURNIPS:

  1. Turnip for meetings
  2. Turnip for service
  3. Turnip to help one another

TO CONCLUDE OUR GARDEN WE MUST HAVE THYME:

  1. Thyme for each other
  2. Thyme for family
  3. Thyme for friends

WATER FREELY WITH PATIENCE AND CULTIVATE WITH LOVE.  THERE IS MUCH FRUIT IN YOUR GARDEN BECAUSE YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW.

    Sounds like it came from an AA member originally, especially the Turnips :)

    Over here they call them swedes!!

    Fossie - I wonder if the sage would lettuce have thyme to squash the turnips in the rows of peas :!:

    We’ll probably have to cauliflower to find out.

    That was really lame, but it was the only thing that came to mind. :)
