"Spring Flower Planting"


Spring & Gardening always remind me of the Great Gardener – Our Heavenly Father.

 

 

I’ve written on this subject before, for example if it wasn’t for the gardener who would survive the flowers or the weeds?  Thank goodness for the Gardener’s protection, watering and even though it hurts – pruning…

 

 

Today I got some Pansies and as you know they come in those little plastic green containers.  They are planted in there and grow until someone (like me) goes to a Nursery and buys them.  They have never known another environment so they don’t know how restricted they are. 

 

Their roots grow out the bottom of the container and the longer they’ve been in the container the more their roots grow out the bottom.  Some of the plants don’t have many roots sticking out the bottom while others have quite a bit.  As a gardener I’m looking for the ones that haven’t taken “full root” into their little plastic containers.  I know I have a “garden” or flower bed to plant them in where they are able to flourish.

 

Our lives are like that little green plastic container – don’t root yourselves to heavily here – you never know when our Great Gardener will come to plant us in Paradise :)

 

 

Blessings,
