Bug Spray or Creation Gardening?

Charlie Sue and I were coming back from the PARK! when a very tall guy came along and asked about where we lived (almost home, three houses away). He was dealing with pesticides so I talked about how I use insects to get rid of insect pests.

I explained a little about Creation Gardening and he became very curious. 

"Where is this from?"

I pointed at the sky - "God manages it."

He was very pleasant and glad to see a copy of Creation Gardening, which he took. "You have a PhD!" and soon - "You are a pastor!"

He tried for the "ask" a few times and told me he is a Mormon. He took the book along, and also noticed three photos in the garden - Christina, Bethany, and Erin Joy.

I expect a lot of people to stop and ask. We already have a trio of the best fragrant roses and other producers as well. It is a lot of fun to let people ask about Creation and to find out how easy it is, even with a little digging and mulching.

Bee balm attracts friendly bees.

The salesman is from Phoenix?!

Crepe myrtle once showed off the Lincoln Town Car.
Now roses glorify Creation.
