They're sent out – Adam and Eve – they're sent out from this garden. But that's not where we'll be forever.
You see, this is what makes life so complicated. The human heart was created in the context of the Garden of Eden. In the perfection, the context of perfection in the Garden of Eden. Each of us have perfection etched into the DNA of our souls. The problem is that we don't live there anymore.
It's no wonder you're disappointed. Everything about life is never going to quite add up. We want life to be tied up in a neat, nice bow. We really do. We have an expectation and we want our experiences to meet that expectation and then we'd be happy, right? We have an expectation here and we have an experience that's here. And the distance in between is where disappointment grows. We have it in our relationships. We have this general sense that life should be better than it is. People should be better than they are, right?
We listen to the news and we hear about another shooting and another weather pattern devastation and fires. We look around in our community and we see children dying before their parents and we have friends that get scary diagnosis. We just have this general sense life should be better than it is. And guess what? You're right. It wasn't supposed to be this way.
You see, the human heart was created in the perfection of the Garden of Eden, but we no longer live there. Now, we will return there once again.
If we flip all the way over to Revelation at the very end of our Bibles. In Revelation 21, this is what it says. It says here, in Revelation 21, starting in verse 3.

If we flip all the way over to Revelation at the very end of our Bibles. In Revelation 21, this is what it says. It says here, in Revelation 21, starting in verse 3.
'And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, ‘Look, God's dwelling place is now among the people and He will dwell with them and they will be His people and God Himself will be with them and be their God.''
Verse 5: 'He Who is seated on the throne says, ‘I am making everything new.''
Skip back up to verse 4: 'He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away. Indeed, He is making everything new.'

'Write this down for these words are trustworthy and true. It is done. I'm the Alpha and the Omega.'
And we turn over to Revelation 22 and we see Eden restored.
Verse 3: 'No longer will there be any curse.'
Verse 12 of Revelation 22: 'Look, I'm coming soon. My reward is with Me and I will give to each person according to what they've done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.'
Do you know why this is so hard for us today? Because we're doing life between two perfect gardens. We live with the anxiety that the first Garden of Eden ended and we live with the anticipation of the Garden of Eden being restored. Perfection and perfection. But we live in the in-between these two gardens in nothing but imperfection.
Like most gardeners, I have my share of successes and failures. My most recent disaster occurred when a deer found my fall carrots and plucked them out one by one while I slept. I put a ridiculous amount of effort into preparing that carrot bed, so now I need to cut my losses and preserve the bed's ready-to-plant condition until spring. The best way to do this is to cover the bed with cardboard, held in place with stones, bricks, or pieces of firewood. In spring, I can lift the cardboard, give the bed a light raking, and put it to work.
Gardeners have different opinions on using cardboard in the vegetable garden, but certified organic growers can use what I call ‘clean' cardboard – plain, unwaxed boxes with all tape and sticky labels removed, with minimal printing on the outside. According to the National Center for Appropriate Technology, 'the basic components of corrugated cardboard seem to be relatively benign. Brown corrugated cardboard appears to be the least processed paper product. It therefore would have the lowest number and smallest quantity of chemical substances, compared to white, glossy, highly printed, waxed or otherwise coated cardboard, paperboard, and papers.'
Smothering Weeds with Cardboard Mulch
Besides, there are many ways to use cardboard in the vegetable garden that simply work. When I moved to my current garden ten years ago, a third of it had gone wild and grown into a tangle of nettles and blackberries, with a groundcover of poison ivy running through the whole mess. Working a section at a time, I cut back the invaders and covered the surface with several sheets of damp cardboard, with soil and pulled weeds between the layers to help maintain moisture. After a few months under cardboard, the wild things were weakened to the point where I could dig them out.
Using cardboard to create new gardening space is high on the list of recommended methods promoted by Wild Ones, a non-profit advocacy organization for native plants, because smothering surface vegetation with cardboard causes less trauma to a site compared to digging it up. Many gardeners build raised beds right on their lawns, and line the bottoms with cardboard to smother the grass – a technique that makes it possible to fill the beds and start gardening right away.

A bit of advice: Shipping tape comes off easily when cardboard is wet, so I place boxes I plan to use in the garden outside and let them get rained on before I clean and flatten them. Cardboard mulch needs to stay moist, so plan to cover it with compost or another material if you live in a dry climate. Termites are occasionally seen in cardboard mulch that is kept too dry, so avoid using cardboard mulch in parched places close to your house.
Box Cloches and Bug Traps
In addition to using cardboard mulch to protect beds from compaction or subjugate weeds or grasses, this time of year I use box cloches around parsley and other marginally hardy plants. With the open flaps securely weighted, the box cloches block cold winds and extend the picking season by several weeks.
Last fall, I discovered by accident that a small cardboard box with more cardboard layers inside, placed near my deck door, made an effective passive trap for brown marmorated stink bugs (shown in the photo at the top of the page), which are determined to come inside for the winter in 44 American states and 4 Canadian provinces. They mistake the box for a safe haven, crawl inside, and are easily shaken into a bowl of soapy water on cool mornings.

The growth of e-commerce has increased the number of cardboard boxes coming into our homes, and at least some of that cardboard can be used in the garden. Keyboard maestro 7 0 3 download free. If you have ideas to share that have worked for you, please post them below.
