You know as you get older things do not work the way you would like them to. The garden can still be a serious passion for you but your body may fight you in your efforts to do certain mundane chores in the garden like digging or weeding. I was recently at a farm doing some work for a very nice older farmer and asked him just how he kept his farm in such great shape for a fellow his age. He told me is was no great secret. He just used what was there for anyone that had the knowledge to go out and find. It was so very simple and when he told me I was amazed. It was using the local church groups younger adults and teenagers. He feeds them a generous lunch and does not ask to much of them and they are more than happy to help out. He in turn donates products from his farm to the less fortunate parishioners and it turns out to be a win win situation for everyone. So the next time you are in need of help in your garden why not contact the local churches and see if they offer such a service. Maybe you can donate something as simple some beautiful flowers for Sunday services or extra food from your garden to help out the hungry. We can all work together and help each other through these tough times we are in just like people used to do in the great depression. If we work together and share, we will not only feel better about ourselves but we can know in our hearts that we have done what is intended of us as caring human beings.
