the miracle of growing things

Despite the recent and continuing heat-wave the Children's Eco-Garden at our church remains in fine shape.

Sustained by regular watering, coupled with an increasingly sophisticated series of eco-friendly pest-control methods, the plant-life has been kept alive. 

And now the garden is starting to flourish. The sunflowers are out, a cucumber is growing and a fledgling tomato has been spotted (and eaten) by a small boy!

Ah, the miracle of growing things, be they plants or children!
