I love August. In most years August is the month of garden produce and harvest. I remember back to my days of having a garden. This was the time of year that all the planting, hoeing, and weeding paid off. I long for my garden. Ours currently consists of two potted tomato plants and a short row of green beans in a raised bed.
I loved the days of making a meal from the garden produce…fresh corn, cucumbers, zucchini, tomatoes, green beans, onions, peas and new potatoes…a delightful table of goodness.
I could usually count on losing a few pounds in August when meals were fresh and gorgeous. Vegetables are healthy eating and can fill the stomach, too. Try if you can to take advantage of the fresh vegetables and be healthy and diet-wise. God only creates good things to enjoy.
“8 Now the Lord had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. 15 The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it,” (Genesis 2:8, 15 NIV).
