Seeds

I went to the 2nd Annual Seed Swap in Bellingham yesterday, and now I am ready for spring. Last year was the first time I participated in gardening and I was very reluctant. It was more a chore than a hobby. But I was pleasantly surprised to discover I enjoyed playing in the dirt. And I especially enjoyed growing amazing vegetables I could turn into amazing food. This spring I intend to really get into it even more. I'm not telling anyone (except you, dear reader) but I have decided to exert ownership over the garden. I will decide what should go in. Broccoli romanesco, kale, brussel sprouts, cabbage, parsnips, salsify, zucchini, buttercup squash, fennel. Oh I can taste it already. Just picture the abundance, the rows of green leaves, thriving in the warm sun, droplets of rain clinging to them after a gentle shower. Bring on spring.
