I’m sure many of you will have seen this but a friend has just sent it to me so I thought I would share it.

How to Plant Your Garden

First, you come to the garden alone,
While the dew is still on the roses

For the garden of your daily living,
Plant three rows of peas:

1. Peace of mind 2. Peace of heart 3. Peace of soul

Plant four rows of squash:

1. Squash gossip 2. Squash indifference 3. Squash grumbling 4. Squash selfishness

Plant four rows of lettuce:

1. Let us be faithful 2. Let us be kind 3. Let us be patient 4. Let us love one another

No garden is without turnips:

1. Turn up for meetings 2. Turn up for service 3. Turn up to help one another

To conclude our garden we must have thyme:

1. Time for each other 2. Time for family 3. Time for friends

Water freely with patience and cultivate with love.
There is much fruit in your garden because you reap what you sow.
