But my biggest problem is that I need more land. My half acre is well planted and without frequent pruning would be terribly overgrown. I'm going to try to get a plot in the town organic garden. Happy New Year and here's to a great season!! I enjoyed your thoughts very much. But my biggest problem is that I need more land.

I have returned home; to my garden and a new beginning. I have twenty years of plantings here. My family and friends close by again, at last! As I look out my window at the frozen Pocono January, I am thinking of spring...May your resolutions by revolutionary too. Thanks Mr. Ball, I enjoyed “The Garden of Promises Kept”

I am planning to spend more time in my garden. My problem is to maitain the interest when gets so hot and uncmfortable outside. I also have to make a commitment to make my projects more manageable, and not want to plant all the new plants that the nurseries market so well. Gardening is a way to release some of the stress of daily living. Keep up the good writings, is soul searching for me. I love it. I am planning to spend more time in my garden.

I'd like to resolve to get it written this year. Is such a resolution doomed to "dissolve into a pile of psychic rubble?" Do I have control over whether or not a publishing house sees my idea as worthy enough? And then there's self-publishing; this route seems to be the one where you have non-licensed drivers crowding the highway. I can upload my entire manuscript to Lulu.com and....publish? Is self-publishing publishing or justifiable vanity? Or might it be a revolutionary resolution made in hopes of becoming a "published" author? Where or how might I find the surest way to fulfill my resolution? I’ve got a book that’s in the works. I’d like to resolve to get it written this year.

This year I already have seeds to increase my garden many times over - would you believe I have over two hundred separate seeds - of all kinds. I also made a resolution to begin propagating my perennials from seeds - I have those seeds. Ron Hi

Here is my comment on the last issue. This story from Burpee is great as it is in the garden where you can walk and talk with the Lord and let off steam or meditate on His goodness or just relax and dig in the dirt. Your entire family can get involved in the project as you well know that Jean, Anne and Bill all work in their yard year round. Little Anne got started with her garden at 7 or 8 years and now she has a "green thumb" and is a member of the National Daylily Society. Her plants have won medals each year for the past 2 or 3 years and she looks forward to the awards each June at the Barnwell Center. I trust you enjoy this article and will join Hernswood Nursery website to get further articles as you love to read and write articles. Remember, it is in the "Garden We Grow" and it is in the Valley where the Lord can call us to rest and grow in Him. There are hundreds of Christian songs and choruses with the theme "In the Valley" - I think of one that has - "He leads me beside still waters - somewhere in the Valley below - He calls me aside to protect me and guide - it is in the Valley, I grow. Those are not the exact words; however, you can see the meaning of growing in the Valley with the Lord. Enough said... Blessings and Happy Gardening, Shirley Weaver I love your stories and share them with others. Here is my comment on the last issue.
