Plantings
By Doug | February 21, 2009
Our goal for the last several months has been to clear enough land to plant fruit trees and berries. They can be growing as we work on the house or on other parts of the land. We have generally enjoyed cutting down trees of every size, stacking wood, pulling out vines, chopping brush, and digging out stumps. The cleared area is not very big, but it is large enough for a start and should recieve adequate sunlight for growing. On Friday, the plants came that we we ordered from Stark Bros. Today we planted the following in the cleared area:
- 3 ea-Prime Jim Blackberry plants
- 2 ea Blueberry bushes (bare root Climax and Tifblue rabbiteye variety)
- 1 ea Golden Delicious Apple tree (semi dwarf)
- 1 ea Red Rome Beauty Apple tree (dwarf)
Two peach trees will go into the same area once they arrive next month.
It is very interesting that God used the same imagery to describe the ministry of Jeremiah the prophet. These are the same steps that lead to spiritual growth and fruitfulness.
See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant. Jeremiah 1:10
We look forward to watching these plants grow and to eating the fruit! I expect that God enjoys watching us grow and bearing spiritual fruit.
