It is a new tomato season here in the Carondelet Garden. We stopped by to visit @thesummitallseasonsmarket and picked up a variety of new tomato varieties. Two new container plants and four new heirloom varieties. These, in addition to our Romas and San Marzanos will definitely create a tomatopalooza in the Carondelet Garden and a feast in the @carondeletkitchen for the two #supercoololdpeople this summer and fall. I smell Marinara!
What a joy it is has been to be back almost full-time in the Garden these past few weeks. Digging and planting and mulching and weeding and mowing and... you know the drill. Work? Yes. Fun? Oh, my goodness yes! My old knees and hip are paying the prices but I'm still able and I'm not quitting yet! Gardening is a form of prayer in many ways. From the very beginning of time God invited us to be a collaborator with him in taking care of the gardens of our world. We are charged by the creator with this creative act. Grow and bring forth beauty and bounty. Prayer, faith, hope and love poured into the ground and then, through grace, we reap what we sow. We are charged to be creative. How empowering is that? Be creative in your kindness as you continue your journey on the Wednesday in Paschaltide. Pour out a bit of faith, hope and love! Amen.
