So I'm very excited about this post because its one of my favorite subject. Well, it could be a subject. Since spring will be here soon... I hope soon. We keep having lots of snow and very cold temperatures here in Ohio. We started dreaming of what we will plant in January. Waiting patiently for all the different seed catalogs, its a good way to stay focused what's to come once spring arrives instead of focusing on all the snow, that seems like it will never end. I cant imagine my friends in Alaska.
This year we ordered our seeds from http://www.seedsavers.org/onlinestore/Vegetables/?search=0623A&ext=F
Last year we ordered from http://www.highmowingseeds.com/
These two are my very favorite. Non GMO seeds and Lots of Organic Heirloom seeds.
We started our seeds! Yey!
I'm sure Charlotte Mason would approve of this as well. What an art.
Leaving you tonight with a poem. Happy gardening!
Garden Magic
This is the garden's magic,
That through the sunny hours
The gardener who tends it, Himself outgrows his flowers.
He grows by gift of patience,
Since he who sows must know
That only in the Lord's good time
Does any seedling grow.
He learns from buds unfolding,
From each tight leaf unfurled,
That his own heart, expanding,
Is one with all the world.
He bares his head to sunshine,
His bending back a sign
Of grace, and ev'ry shower becomes
His sacramental wine.
And when at last his labors
Bring forth the very stuff
And substance of all beauty
This is reward enough.
