Trusting His Powerful Hand .

Lots going on around the farm today.  The trench on our street is finished and today they laid the pipe. 

while that is going on our guys are still out doing water deliveries... this will likely be the routine  for the next couple of months.  

We have some guests that will be leaving the US in a few hours so we have been getting ready. 

Today we were able to get the bridge over trench. 

The corner room was always very dark and only had one little window.  Today we finished  installing a window looking out into the orchard . 



we put in a live edge sill on the window.  I still have a little bit of trim on. I will pick that up when I go into Tokmok in the morning. 

With the guests arriving on Thursday, they will have with them some landscaping clothe.  

Because of the situation with the water this year , we will have to scale back the gardens this year .  By planting through the black clothe we will choke out the weeds and reduce the amount of water required.

last fall we spread spinach seeds over the garden .. this helps to choke out weeds and it starts to grow early in the spring .  Now that we are going to plant part of the garden, we will transplant the spinach into a row between the garlic and the raspberries.  

Along with the apple trees the currents are doing very well, look at all the blooms. 

We have gone back to planting in trenches rather then on mounds as well since we will not have flood irrigation .    This year is definitely going to be a challenge.  Knowingly planting in a dry parched land.  

Isaiah 41:19-20 (NIRV) states, "I will make trees grow in the desert. I will plant cedar and acacia trees there. I will plant myrtle and olive trees there... Then people will see and know that my powerful hand has done it."
