I Love Spring!!

My garden is beautiful! It has lots of weeds and very little order but plants are growing. I even picked red leaf lettuce that survived the winter. There is also kale with amazing yellow flowers.

I am humbled by the creativity and the processes that the Lord uses to take water, soil, air and sunlight and create plants I can eat. Even plants I may not eat like my comfrey still produces purple flowers.

My strawberries love all the rain and snow and cooler temperatures. They are loaded with strawberries this year.

Book of Mormon Study

Today my reading was from Mosiah 27 https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/bofm/mosiah/27?lang=eng

I have read the Book of Mormon many times in my life. I have a firm testimony that it is the word of God. I know the teachings, the stories and the especially the coming of Jesus Christ to the Americas have blessed my life.

The words of the Book of Mormon were written for me and all of us today. The prophets of the Book of Mormon saw my day and were inspired to record words that help me be a better person.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has made the words of the Book of Mormon available to many people in their own language.

The Book of Mormon app is a great way to study the Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ.

For me, reading, studying and now watching the videos of the Book of Mormon, has provided the greatest self help tool ever created. I am a more loving wife, mother, daughter, friend, neighbor and colleague because of what the Book of Mormon has taught me.

Gardening in 2023

I planted peas on March 18 and they finally came up in the last week. It has rained the last few days so my garden looks green in place.

I took a gardening class at Wasatch Community Gardens on April 15 that so enlightening. I learned a great deal about how to get my soil tested, what to compost with to improve my soil, cover crops and double digging as another way to improve soil.

I have started some seeds in my shed but the only ones really growing are 4 Hubbard squash seeds. I need to spend a couple hours out in the garden working on my compost pile, getting soil samples, planting more seeds as it is finally warming up.

I have taken chives, garlic chives, Egyptian walking onions tops and rhubarb to work for others to have. It is wonderful to have produce already from the garden. My strawberries are loaded with blossoms. I just need to keep enough water on them so they don’t get stressed and produce lots of berries.
