The shipment of seeds; promise of food to come!
***
This is the start of my most favorite time of year! The growing season. Today was the start!Annemarie and I met up with Lee Witkowski, an environmental science professor at Lewis University. We got our hands dirty and put some seeds in the dirt. We started tomatoes, eggplant, basil, ground cherries, and wonder berries.
With names like Aunt Molly's Cherries, Hungarian Heart, Pineapple Tomato, and Black Krim you can't help but wonder at the seeds planted down in the darkness. Will they in fact yield sweet fantastical fruits promised on the seed packets? It is an experiment in hope!
We are looking for a few good families to join us in this experiment. Would you like to come and grow with us? And partake in the pineapple tomato? It was the sweetest tomato I have ever tasted!
