It's all about the soil....




Earlier this spring, I preached on what I call the parable of the soils.... others call the parable of the sower.... and in that sermon, I shared my love for gardening and my inability to garden in this sandy soil. Aftward, I was challenged by two people to build up the soil. So, I took the challenge when I was on vacation the end of May. I got some good compost from Pete Layfield - a whole pickup truck load of it. Spread it out over the garden and then worked it in. Then I planted some seeds and plants. And the above picture is what it looks like today. Need to run the rototiller in it tonight, but it is looking really good! Amazing what a little time and energy invstment in building up the soil can do!
