Now the growing season is here, the workers are not idle. Garden Gate needs constant tending, watering and harvesting. May was mostly a cold month so crop growth was definitely slower, but broad beans, and rhubarb are already on our menu. It is exciting to see the beans, rootcrops and marrow veg. families making steady growth in our soil and greenhouse, our fruit crops swelling and frogs active in our pond.
He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yield its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither, and in all that he does, he prospers.
