Plant Something ! ! !

If you want to do something good for yourself, plant something. ANYTHING !!!!! And don't wear gloves!! Get your hands dirty in God's good earth!! I think it is a direct connection between your soul and life, that is why it can lift your spirits so much. It is your own accomplishment, something you can nurture, coming away from yourself and problems or worries. Plant flowers, with beautiful colors and sweet smells. Plan out gardens that would be blooming from early spring all through fall. 2 years ago I had a tomato plant I grew in a pot on the porch. They were the best sweet tasting tomatoes I ever had in my life!! It is so much fun watching them grow and waiting anxiously for them to turn from green to red. And what a fun thing to share with a child or grandchild. You can have a nice fresh supply of tomatoes, peppers, and carrots very easily. The most amazing thing to me is planting a tree. I love trees! I climbed every one I possibly could when I was little. I think it is so dear to plant a tree in memory of someone. If I had a big yard I would plant a weeping willow, a beautiful mimosa tree, a blue spruce, dogwood, wisteria, an apple tree, a Japanese split leaf maple, a mulberry tree and a weeping cherry tree. Picture that! Anyone can do it , it is easy. Even if it is a houseplant, there are many that can survive any torturous thing you can do to them. Spider plants are perfect for beginners, they are a perfect pass along plant! When they make babies, you can pick them off and give them to family or friends. Then when theirs gets big and has babies , they can do it too! Something special to pass on with love! Now go ahead and plant something and see for yourself, you will love it !!!
