seeds

the seed catalog.
full of promises.
of spring & summer. of the warm sun. and wearing flip-flops. of insects buzzing.

the standard, has been Burpee. probably b/c it was always around Mom's house.

though I've begun to feel lately, that I should be a better citizen/gardener, and begin to focus on the more organic, heritage, exchange seeds. Like Seed Savers.

But a few weeks ago, when the colorful Burpee arrived. On a horridly cold day. And I ordered some of these. And they've already arrived.

("Fordhook" nasturtiums)












("State Fair" zinnias)












So many options. Basil. Rudbeckia. Cosmos. Daisies. Sweetpeas. Moonflowers. Hollyhocks. Need to get a garden plan on paper. And order more seeds.
