WINTER WONDER”…
Message from Jennifer @ Sandspur Farm:
" This winter has been different, at first I was mad and upset with crops being ruined when some were reaching their prime. To see turnips shatter like glass from being frozen is ugly. But then I changed my mind. Without winter, pests in the garden would continue, there would never be an end to their cycle. So now I am happy to say that winter is not all bad. It’s the reset button for growing things. I’ve included some quotes I found online. The most important is the Bible verse from Deuteronomy 11:13-15. It says “It shall come about, if you love the Lord your God that He will give the rain for your land in its season that you may gather in your grain and your new wine and your oil. He will give grass in your fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied.”
Our ancestors didn’t have greenhouses back in the 17 & 1800s, they grew what they could during the spring and summer and stored for winter. To them winter was horrible. We have so many luxuries in life to be thankful for. Giving our lands a rest period or at least a slower pace, isn’t all bad."
Thanks Jennifer for sharing your optimism & farmer’s perspective!
