The four-hour sun break between rain showers was just enough to get our family out into the garden.  The first thing to do was to prepare the beds for planting - i.e. pull up what we didn’t want to grow.  All kinds of random seeds (weeds) get sown in the garden and begin coming up in the spring.  We have to stay on top of it or the “volunteers” take over and choke out what we really want to grow.
Even the good things will take over.  A man reaps what he sows, right?  (Galatians 6:7)
Sometimes, even good seed is too much of a good thing.  We had some Rose Campion flowers spend a season in the garden.
Great looking flowers – greenish-silver colored leaves that are fuzzy like lamb’s ears; bright fuchsia flowers in the summer; self-seeds like crazy.  An hour of pulling up starts worth of crazy.
Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. (2 Cor 9:6)
