Counting our blessings

Last night in the garden, 15 of us gathered for a short prayer to thank God for our garden and all our many blessings and to ask for grace, strength and wisdom and a bountiful harvest -- I think God already has us covered but it's so good to let him know we recognize his goodness and to verbalize our need for his hand. Or her hand : ). Anyway -- thanks to all the folks who joined us! Here are some pictures!

Don't forget, if you can make it, tonight at 6 p.m. Master Gardener Phil Ramey will meet us at the garden to talk about the hows and whens of harvesting our bounty. Shirlene Booker, UT Extension agent, will be there with resources to share, and refreshments will be served. Please join us!

God bless the children and parents involved in the first day of school today or in days soon to come.

Larry gives a tour. Thank you, Larry!

Paul, at left, is integral to our garden. He "grew up in a garden," he says. He checks on Harvest of Hope pretty much every day and makes sure everything's gotten enough water. Margot (in black and white) and Susan (back to us) are major reasons HoH exists, too. SHOUT OUT!

These are our newest beds, ready for fall planting. Two of them are wheelchair accessible.
