HOMESTEADING * HOME

I became so aggravated, lately!

 

My okra, green bell pepper, banana peppers and cilantro would not grow all summer! Other friends had these same plants that were growing great, so why not mine? And then out of the blue, last month, everything kicked in and growth happened.

 

Why so late? I have no idea!

 

I’m just trying to plant things that I know we will eat and things that grow in their right season, but these plants have had a mind of their own! I feel like a chaotic gardener, but I am thankful that I do have produce now. It’s the strangest thing, and I have yet to figure out why these plants decided to come up so late.  However, I am thankful it finally happened and will share and eat the harvest!

On another note, my pumpkins came super early. They decided to be completely ready in July! I still have one on my counter, just hoping it lasts until the end of the month so I can enjoy for fall! And these pumpkins, I didn’t even plant.

 

With this experience, I think I will just start throwing seeds out everywhere and just let the Lord decide what needs to grow and when, because…

 

I just can’t figure things out!

 

Anyone got a green thumb and can let me know what’s going on?
