Dear God:Today, I am thankful for a small-scale garden.
I don't have lofty gardening goals - I just want my gardens to reflect my creativity and personality.
So, the man who plans to plant at least one of the over 2,500 plants suitable for Zone 5 amused my green thumb and tickled my practical nature. (By the way, I also live in Zone 5.)
This evening, while tending my gardens, I started counting the different plants that grace the landscape. I gave up after a few minutes - the stubborn chickweed patch near the front porch distracted me. My rough estimate: around 50 different plants. This number reflects the fact that I favor plants that survive our quirky Colorado weather and arid climate.
Anyway, I applaud the man's ambition. If he has the time, space and money to manage an incredibly diverse garden, more power to him.
For this blessing, I am grateful.
Amen.
