Seeds of Desire

Gods of the yard plot. Titans of the tiller. Zen masters of backyard feng shui. Now is the most anticipated time of year. When we plan out our year of edible landscaping and gardening. Pruning and prepping our perennials and planting beds for the beauty and deliciousness that is to come.

But then it hits. The onslaught of free plant marketing begins to fill our mailboxes. Soon it consumes our hearts and minds. Creating deep desires which can only be fulfilled by endless purchases of innocent little seeds. The DNA of our spring, summer, fall, and winter meals encased in a little (or sometimes large) shell. We flip the colorful pages wanting to plant everything we can get our hands on. If only our wallets were as deep as our lust for seeds.

So as you realize that your garden can be just as green and colorful as your neighbors'. Don't settle for just the typical beans and tomatoes. Start experimenting with new varieties. Go where no man (or woman) has gone before (in your own yard.)
