Spring Planting


There is a deep sense of satisfaction watching seedlings come out of the ground. This week it is our black eye peas. When I see the first cotyledons come out of the ground there is a great sense of relief- we are off and running.
Planting seed is such a miracle to me. I could do all the same work preparing the ground and if we planted pebbles nothing would happen. The fact that there is life in those seeds is still amazing to me. If they are planted in the right conditions of temperature and soil moisture they can truly yield a hundred fold.
You will just have to take my word for this, it is truly a great feeling to see the seedlings come out of the ground.
