seeds

We're finally seeing signs of spring here in PA. I'm starting to hear the sound of chirping birds in the morning. We're uncovering our grill more often to fulfill requests for steak and burgers. My flowers are popping up from the ground, and I have more buds on my lilac tree than ever before.

I'll soon be enjoying quiet mornings with my small vegetable garden. This year, I've stepped into the new world of starting plants from seeds indoors. My bedroom window has looked like this for weeks...

I was a little nervous about my not-so-green thumb. I've been improving over the years, but indoor plants have not always loved me. These little babies seem to be doing okay, though. As long as they keep growing {and I don't screw it up}, they should be ready to embrace their new garden home in May.

{cherry tomatoes}

My lavender never showed up for the party, so I'll have to try again on that one. Everything else that will {hopefully} grow in my garden this year will be directly seeded soon...lettuce, spinach, snow peas, black beans, carrots, italian green beans...

I'm excited! New life, warm weather, smaller grocery bills...

What are you growing this year? Have you started anything from seed?

All the flowers of all the tomorrows are in the seeds of today.
