Seed Giveaway

Collected rose campion seeds this week to one day give away.

My friend, Lesley, shared these with me many years ago.

Many of my flower garden plants were once given to me, now making a happy memory.

Seed Giveaway

Many perennials will bloom continually

if given a haircut quite regularly.

Just cut off the spent blooms

and then more will zoom

but be sure to save the seed heads

to be given to someone instead

of disposing

or composting.

Store the cut seed heads in a box.

Soon you will have collected a lot.

After the saved cut seed heads have dried

it's time to give away or at least try

for you'll find many gardening friends

prefer to buy flowering plants to tend.

Put the seeds in an envelope

which is labeled with a note

telling what it is

(not the time for a quiz),

if it's sun or shade

and what color made.

These seeds you save and give away

will be worth a fortune someday

for each envelope contains

memory seeds bearing your name.

Your friends will remember you

as they tiptoe through the dew.

In a couple of years they too

will try to give away to

friends whenever they can

making memories again.

The nicest thing about sharing

are the memories in the making.

What will you be known for?

Sharing and caring and more?

Despite circumstances are you joyous?

Or do you worry out loud quite frequent?

Can others see God's peace in you

regardless of what you're going through?

Are you known for your unerring patience?

Do you radiate kindness and goodness?

Will you be remembered for your abiding faith

or will a spirit of fear take faith's place?

Will you be remembered for your gentleness?

Can others see the fruit of God's spirit?

Do you hold your tongue in self-control

or are your words often out of control?

Everything we do and say

will be recalled someday.

It's not too late to begin

to grow God's fruit within.

Check out Galatians 5:22-23

which telsl us how to live cheerfully and be free.

...what she has done will also be told in memory of her.

Matthew 26:13

The fruit of the Spirit is

love, joy, peace,

patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

gentleness and self-control.

Galatians 5:22-23

Re saving seeds to give away,

these datura seeds were originally given to me

by a facebook friend, Sheri, from Texas.
Thanks, Sheri.
