As most of you know, two of my favorite things are plants and good puns. This sharing, which is perfect as we approach autumn, is ripe with both. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Father Gary
Here's what you need for your personal garden:
Plant 3 rows of squash:
Squash gossip
Squash criticism
Squash indifference
Plant seven rows of peas:
Prayer
Promptness
Perseverance
Politeness
Preparedness
Purity
Patience
Plant seven heads of lettuce
Let us be unselfish and loyal
Let us be faithful to duty
Let us search the scripture
Let us not be weary in doing good
Let us be obedient in all things
Let us be truthful
Let us love one another
Plant a few turnips
Turn up with a smile, even when things are difficult
Turn up with a determination to do your best!
