Giving new bedding plants some rough treatment at planting time, she says, may be the best thing you can do to help them survive in the garden. When I was new to gardening, I tried to set tomatoes, petunias, and other bedding plants in the garden without disturbing their roots at all. Nowadays, Im much more ruthless. If the whole pot is filled with circling roots, I have to be merciless. Most bedding plants shrug off this rough treatment.
Christians often resemble root bound plants.
We grow complacent and comfortable where we are. Our roots circle around and around in the same small area, no longer reaching out for life and nourishment and growth. The healthiest thing God can do for us is shake up our roots and put us in new soil. By the way, since I re-did my computer, its never ran better. The first Saturday in November.
