Why Mimi's Garden

I have been thinking and I have decided that I need to explain why "Mimi's Garden". Some of you know that my mom and dad owned a flower shop business (Reiser's Florist in Clovis, NM) when I was growing up. Then over the years I have had some great experiences cultivating, planting and growing things. And now, even though we are renting a place in Wake Forest, NC I dream often of having a garden. In fact, I have over the years prayed that someone would have planted things such as grapes and asparagus some where and I would buy that land. There would already be grapes and asparagus and maybe even other things too growing. Since those things take some years to mature this person would have already planted them for me. Anyway, that is the reason for Mimi's Garden.

In Johnson City, TN about 10 years ago we had a vertical garden and it produced some of the most wonderful tomatoes and peppers you could ever grow. We planted everything we could think of and some of it did great and some not so good. That is what a garden is to me. You learn by doing and somethings you want to repeat and some of the plants broke the pots ( like onions and celery) but we were glad we tried all of it.

That is why I decided on Mimi's Garden. Not that the Blog will only be about gardening but you have to come up with a name and that is something that is dear to me.

I will also be talking about life as I know it. I have a dream one that has been with me for many years and just has gotten better the longer I think about it. It is THE GATHERING PLACE. Do you have a dream and have you written it down and are you beginning to see it come together? Well, come along with me as I let you in on my dream and watch to see how God puts it together.

Hey, thanks for stopping by and I will talk to you soon. Mimi
