~ My Floating Garden ~

Good morning friends near and far across this great creation!

Many of you know of my passion for growing a lot of my veggies, herbs and flowers in raised beds and I used an old, non-seaworthy canoe, and created what I affectionately called my 'Floating Garden' (top photo) to plant my sweet potato slips into the spring of that year. 

With much patience, love and care by August 24th the plants were in beautiful bloom (see photo below); their way of saying 'thanks for the love'!

On this day, October 9, 2017, while still an Ontario resident, I harvested the first of my very own home-grown, sweet potatoes. So delicious - I have yet to taste one as wonderful as they did!!!

Well those beautiful blooms and foliage on top promised growth below and I wasn't disappointed; what a sweet and bountiful harvest I had that year!!! 💖

The tape measure shows the largest at 9 inches! :-)

"You crown the year with a bountiful harvest; even the hard pathways overflow with abundance." Psalm 65:11

October 9 is also the day my dear Mom went Home to be with her Lord. I like to remember my sweet Mom and the harvest of my sweet potatoes from my floating garden and give thanks with a very grateful heart for so many blessings my God has given me!!!

"Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! 

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who are in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:8

Take good care, keep growing, and keep singing! 💞🙏🎶☘🌹
