Matthew 6:32 " Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
I love my backyard. Each year as it get's a little better than the year before. My perennials are maturing and bushing out, I have more experience with placement and care, and I am beginning to get the hang of growing flowers in the greenhouse. It is truly my happy place. It's dirty, sweaty, thorny work, but I love it. 
When I plant a seed and water it, If conditions are right it grows. It was perfectly created by God to do what it does. I just get the joy of watching the magical process. God gave me gardening to bring me joy.
Did God need Adam and Eve to tend to the garden of Eden? I think not. He let him them, because He loved them. He wanted to give them rewarding fun work.
At times I forget that this garden that I enjoy so much, is beautiful because God made it beautiful. He allows me to play with His wonderful flowers, trees and plants.

We have the same problem with our day to day lives. We forget who made our days. We get so wrapped up and worried about things that we have absolutely no control over. We spiral into thinking that we can manipulate what will happen obsessing it into being. We "water" the seeds we want, but we don't make them grow. We lose countless hours of peace and joy by ignoring God's wisdom and imperatives.
Cast your cares on me (literally throw them!!) I am the one who make flowers (or plans) grow.
Fear Not!
Do not worry about.....
Be anxious for nothing!
We have disillusioned ourselves into believing that after God created the universe it somehow got our of His control and into ours. Our disillusions of grandeur are a lie of Satan. 
Don't be deceived.
Trust the truth you know.
To trust like a child is to be in awe of our Father. He is right there beside you ALWAYS watching your steps.
Luke 18:17 “Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.”
Matthew 6:25-32
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
“And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Starting Seeds: Paper Towel Method
The paper towel (or coffee filter) method of starting seeds works great for large seeds, or hard shell seeds. It is not optimal for small seeds as they may not have the strength to root this way.- Soak you seeds for 24 hours in hot water
- Place a paper towel in a strainer and strain out the water.
- We a paper towel and gently move seeds on to the new paper towel.
- Fold the paper towel over once, make sure it is moist all the way through.
- Place the paper towel in a baggie, squeeze our access air and place in a warm sunny place to germinate for 2-3 days.
- Using tweezers transplant rooted seeds to starter tray or pots, water and watch them grow.
