Whoa O We're Half Way There!

At the end of this week my independent contracting at The Garden will be half way over, as well as my summer class. I think this would be a good moment in time to reflect on some of the reasons I am here with the blog Growing Pains in Eden. Thus far, there has been a lot of exploring and learning going on during this period of time. Gardening in a sustainable way, and preparing that one acre for its future users who will benefit from my work season after season, has been quite eye opening. Gardening has opened a door for my faith to grow into as it comes alive in this new dimension. Having the ability to share this exploration with readers has also helped me digest the experiences and knowledge I am gaining. But of course there is still life outside the garden like the ever nearing graduation and job hunt, which I'm sure you will hear about at some point as I go through this season of life.

Top 6 Reasons Why I Garden

1.     The flow of gardening. When working in the garden there are a variety of tasks, sometimes you are doing backbreaking work, and others you are pulling weed by weed at your own pace. 2.     Connection to where I live. Having a successful garden requires you to tune into where you live. Knowing your climate, soil, drainage, how much rain you will get (or not get) that year, where the sun shines most, and so on brings greater appreciation for how God designed where we live. 3.     Old fashioned hard work. I love getting in there and getting my hands dirty. I find so much satisfaction when I take a step back and see what my hands created. From digging trenches, building compost bins, trellises, and raised beds, it's been a good day when you’re covered with dirt and sweat and are ready to put your feet up. a work day at my parents house early this spring 4.     Eating healthy. When growing a garden you most likely have vegetables which have come to you much chea
