Mary, Mary Quite Contrary

Mary Mary quite contrary,

How does your garden grow?

With silver bells and cockle shells

And pretty maids all in a row.

Look at My Garden Grow!

We have had oodles of rain this past week and are 2 inches over for the month of April ~ A Gardener's Dream!  Last year at this time we were in drought. It's been wonderful, we are actually having a Spring season and haven't gone straight into Summer heat like it usually does in South Carolina.  We are grateful to God for the rain and growing our garden.

I am so excited...we have had quite a bit of rain...and there is nothing that compares to God's rain. Our chemical treated water is no comparison when it comes to stimulating the garden vegetables. As much as I can, I use the rain from the rain barrel to water my garden.  Look what is coming up:
