Welcome to the Gig!

Hey all,

Thanks for agreeing to be a part of the box garden research.  Most of you have received or will receive your starter kit today.  I hope you can get the seeds planted very soon and can start enjoying your growth.

I have set up this blog for me to post weekly updates, and as a forum for any of you to share experiences or ask questions.  I am by no means an expert at this stuff, but I do have a couple of years of experience that might provide some tips if anyone has a question.  I have taken the liberty to sign everyone up for the blog.  If you do not wish to be a part, you  can always opt out.

All of you will notice that I have included mustard greens in the mix.  I have never grown mustard greens, but I assume they will be a lot like collard greens.  Truthfully I just wanted to see what a mustard seed looked like.  Jesus said the kingdom is like a mustard seed.  It is the smallest of all the seeds, but when it grows it becomes a tree and the birds hang out in it.  He also said, that if you have faith as small as a mustard seed you can say to mountains and trees be uprooted and cast into the sea, and they will obey.

I have never seen this happen and felt like my faith was wanting because of it.  I think there is something in actually planting the seed itself that will aid us all in our experience of moving mountains.  That is why I get us all some mustard.  I hope the greens taste good.

I know I have shared with some of you that gardening has taught me more about spiritual laws than any other project I have embarked on.  I will share a lot of this stuff with you as we go through the process.  Remember, we are completing the project with a BBQ at my house.  Nothing like finishing off an organic vegan project with some beef consumption!

I look forward to getting everyone's feedback.  Thanks for being a part.

Tim
