The Value of Solitude: Today’s window invites you to explore the power of "One with God"

In the quiet nook of his small shop the cobbler diligently works away. His needle, though strong against the hard leather, cannot pierce the quietness of the room.

In this space, free from the clamor of the bustling marketplace outside, he finds clarity and focus; “Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed” (Luke 5:16). It is in solitary moments that we can truly hear God’s voice, guiding us towards understanding and peace.

Just as the cobbler mends shoes, repairing them with care and attention, so too does solitude offer an opportunity to stitch and mend our thoughts with God. In embracing solitude, we create space for wisdom to take root, nurturing our minds and spirits in the tranquility of the present moment. Let this lesson of solitude guide you to a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you.

The Turnip is Peppery, yet Humble

Sowing

Turnips do just fine when seeds are sown directly outdoors 4 weeks before the first or last frost. Use well-draining soil and plant seeds about 1/2 inch deep. You’ll see optimal growth at temperatures between 50-75°F.

Growing

Turnips need approximately 4 to 6 inches of spacing between each plant. To maintain proper growth, thin out the smaller sprouts and add them to a salad.

Winter Care

Turnips are hardy and can handle cooler weather, making them suitable for fall planting and winter harvesting with some protection like mulch or row covers.

Delicious Dishes

Turnips are incredibly adaptable, imparting a subtly sweet and peppery taste to a variety of dishes, including soups, stews, stir-fries, casseroles, and they’re also great roasted or mashed as a side dish.

Both the roots and greens are edible, enhancing their versatility in the kitchen.
