'God planted a garden...there He put the man whom He had formed.' GENESIS 2:8
It's pretty likely that gardening programmes aren't filling up your sky+ hard-drive so lets deal with the basics: what does it mean to plant? Technically it is 'To bury seeds beyond human view so that they germinate and eventually produce fruit.' (you did know that, right?)
Now think of the Creator of the universe, as He stoops down and plants blessings and opportunities to grow in your life. Can't see the blessings or opportunities? If you walk out into a field (ok, you might not do that often but use your imagination) and don't see a crop, it doesn't mean the seeds aren't there; God has planted things in your life that will spring out of the mud at different times.
Everything God has for you hasn't come up yet, so don't give up, or walk away and say, 'That's all there is'. There are talents in you that haven't been discovered and dreams that haven't been fulfilled. That's what the battle is about!
The Devil is fighting you over your destiny. He knows good stuff is planted in you and he's trying to kill the seed. Don't let him. You're not the person you'll be six months or six years from now, because there's a time factor; everything doesn't come to harvest at the same time. You have to have faith and patience; otherwise you'll miss what God has for you.
