Need Wisdom? Ask Him

When we moved to Arizona we quickly found out that the hardest part of the learning curve is the gardening. The zone is different, the earth is different, and the weather far hotter than any place I've put in new plants or sown seeds.
At first it didn't work out. We bought plants that soon died. They withered no matter how much we studied, researched, watered or fertilized them, but then we tried again. And again. And again, but we didn't give up.
In the midst of all of this, a seed was dropped, most likely from a bird. At first my wife Trisha and I thought it was a berry bush. We waited to see what would happen; there was no water in that area. Nothing that would ensure it could grow and thrive, no fertilizer, just the sun and dirt and the shade from the eaves of the roof.
That plant thrived.
God shares wisdom in different ways. The shade of the eaves reduced the heat of the direct sun, this led me to look at ways to reduce the intensity of the Arizona sun over more delicate and less hardy plants. Hence, I set up fifty percent garden cloth over my fruit trees and vegetables, which has allowed me to harvest crops all year round.
God is incredible.
Never stop asking God for wisdom and you will never stop learning new discoveries.
James 5:1-2 "If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone..."
God bless.

No doubt i would not want to live in AZ. I’m exact opposite and Jesus willing I hope to be moving back to Alaska if I get my kidney transplant. About the plants….. I would of bought that grey or slightly black sun covering the kind u see in nurseries or like in the plant dept.
Be it how much room you have back there I’d put in posts and fasten to netting accordingly. I would have done this before I attempted. Ya know pastor it surprises me that you didn’t think of that !, behold Gods beauty & glory of all his colors.
