Nita, thank you for your kind words. I pray there will solid food here. I could never do this without the Lord’ s help, but He is powerful even making a cracked pot to work.
Like Valerie, I would love to be the winner of the gardening book.
Living in Upstate New York, I need all the help I can get with my garden!!! This book would be such a blessing!!!
When looking to grow herbs, one of the most important elements is the garden soil you will be using. Not enough can be said about preparing a bed in order to plant a successful garden. This is just as important whether you are starting your first herb garden, or preparing your existing garden for the spring and summer to come.
Would like to win…Thanks for the giveaway!

Jacqueline:
“A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm all the days of her life.” Proverbs 31:10-12
I love the illustrations on your site, and the stories throughout. It shows a woman of confidence and of noble character, I am blessed to find others who love the Lord as much as I do; and it shows in their work.
Blessings in the Lord,
Y.V.
