For me my garden is my church, and it often confuses other people around me, but I ask “where can you find more miracles, than in a garden.
I love and praise the planet we live on, and I put my trust in it, to provide for me. The soil won’t let you down, if you feed, support and take care of it.
Isn’t it amazing how resilient our planet is?
We planted our lemon tree 6 years ago. Since then it has been cut down by gophers 3 times, and it just kept coming back. The gophers eventually gave up 3 years ago, and last year we finally had our first 10 lemons. This year the tree is full of lemons, it’s booming with probably 100.
Our passion fruit tree was also cut by gophers but now 6 months later, it’s so big and full of fruit, that you can’t see that it was cut down.
If that isn’t enough, just watching a seed sprout, grow and mature is a miracle in itself.
Every time I walk in our gardens, I am amazed, by the beauty of life all around me.
What miracles have you seen/experienced in your garden?

I agree that gardening is such a wonderful way to witness miracles in everyday life.
 
It was a tommy gun. And now this tiny ad insists on being addressed as "Tommy":
