GIFTS FEED
USING YOUR GIFTS TO FEED
Stake those tomatoes. Cucumbers cling to fences. Beans or peas wrap around poles to mature . Others like watermelon need plenty space.
Greens get along nicely anyplace .
Some young tendrils need support. Others like okra need no support .
It is the same with people as plants.
Some folks naturally grow hardy as collards, mustard, turnips. Others, like tomatoes, grow best staked; or like cucumbers, by fences; or like beans or peas, poles; or okra none.
Being more romantic than an actual farmer, these pre-spring time ideas or associations occur to me, partly from my experience, observations, and conversations. I have grown very little in the way of food, ever.
But I have fed many by means of my mind; from my ideas shared from reading, from experience, even observations, conversations.
Use whatever you have to do good.
I have. I do. I try each day as praise.
