Square footers

Oh, The Joys of High Altitude Gardening! How good does it get? You put in your seeds and then the earth freezes solid. You put in your seeds and then 60 mph winds sweep across your garden. You put in your seeds and then they get covered with six inches of snow. Yea, verily, High Altitude Gardening is a barrel of fun.

We have two Dear Friends who live in an unnamed High Altitude City. In the photos above, you can see them having SO MUCH FUN planting yet another High Altitude garden. Half the fun is in the planting aspect of it because you have no clue if your seeds can possibly survive. A lot of the charm and attraction to doing a High Altitude garden is in the challenge of survival. It's kind of like a paradigm for ourselves. If our seeds can sprout and survive and prosper, so can we.

In that sense, it is very important for people who live in inhospitable climates to continue to flaunt the odds--they simply MUST continue to plant seeds and dream that those seeds will sprout and bear fruit. It's all part of The Plan!

Congratulations to Maggie and Steve for their Faith and Confidence in their Garden. It makes a Whole of Difference to ALL of Us! Keep on Keeping ON!

Cheers, jp
