Rehoboth Farm

The Vegetable Garden (so far)

We have never had a very successful garden, but this year we are determined to change that.  Just as everything was growing nicely we had a severe thunderstorm come through the other day and blast everything horizontal, especially the corn.  However, it's amazing (and providential) how the next day everything goes vertical again.

This year we also planted an orchard of peaches, pears, pomagranites, figs and apples; some of which are already bearing.

The life of the husbandman of all others is most delectable.  It is honorable, it is amusing, and, with judicious management, it is profitable.  To see plants rise from the earth and flourish by the superior skill and bounty of the laborer fills a contemplative mind with ideas which are more easy to be concieved than expressed.
