Look: babies!

There’s something magical about growing things from seed. It’s almost enough to make you believe the Universe has a master plan. It puts all that critical information in a tiny portable little package that can survive almost anything, and then you just add earth and water and it becomes what it was meant to be.

Have you heard about the evil Monsanto terminator seeds? That’s seriously messing with the order of things.

Anyway, here are my babies – morning glories, cinnamon basil, oregano, coleus, moonflowers, pansies, and clematis. I am totally thrilled with them. Every day I rush home from work to see how much they’ve grown and to turn their containers around. I love how they reach their little arms and faces up to the sunshine.

    Aaah, they look so cute…congratulations :) and I know how you feel. Every day I make my rounds (I’m exaggerating it’s just a short stroll) through my little garden…..exploring and watching how things are starting to grow :)

  • Congratulations on the seedlings and keeping your job! That’s some powerful underwear you’ve got going for you.

  • Dakota, it must be a whole different experience being able to garden year-round. For us, it’s quite tightly constrained by the seasons. We plant on the May 24th long weekend, although we get a head-start with seeds.

    Scrim – thank you for the compliment on my underwear. :)
