Wow! Been a long time…

in gardening, Lord's blessings
I haven’t posted in such a long time, I’m not sure where to begin! We are in the midst of planting season, though we are going through some rainy weather. Actually there has been some major storms roaring through the Midwest. I am very thankful for the safety that the Lord has blessed my family, even while my husband was out on the road. We think, though, on the loved ones lost to their families through the devastation of these storms. All of nature groans from the effects of sin.
On a lighter note, we have been enjoying lettuce and spinach and a few broccoli florets from the raised beds! So good! We’ve even been able to give bagfuls to the neighbors. 
I also have planted 26 tomatoes, red cabbage, pole beans, lima beans, carrots, sweet peppers, onions, basil, mint and parsley. I already had spearmint, but wanted some peppermint. Mmmm, smells so good!
I practice companion planting, and also planting marigolds in among the plants. Oh, I also have potatoes. These I plant in big flower pots, in layers. They are doing very well, also.
I haven’t decided on what to plant in the beds that had lettuce and spinach, though I really want to cucumbers. So I’m guessing I’ll be planting them in there.
