When it comes to planting something new, I am not the most patient of gardeners. I rarely use seeds, choosing to buy transplant-readies instead. However, after planting some sunflower and basil seeds, I am inspired to start from seed more in the future.
There is something magicalicious about tossing seeds into freshly turned dirt. There is therapy in raking the soil to expose its underbelly. There is beauty in the random fashion seeds fall. There is hope for their survival. There is excitement for what they will become.
When I plant a seed, I think a little of myself is planted along with it.
