My Sproutlings

     Sow a seed... This is a new concept for me, but I am very excited to announce that I have received my very first sproutling!  Let me tell you she is such a beautiful little green goddess.  Shortly after Morgatge Lifter popped through, all the others have decided to make an appearance also. 

     I do believe that the boys are just as excited as I am.  I hope that they will enjoy eating them as much as they enjoy looking at and talking to GeeGee (Green Goddess) and all of her followers. As I say the boys are excited and go to our "greenhouse" a few times a day, I am pretty sure I make tripple that many appearances. 

     In addition to starting from seeds, we have chosen these seeds to be Heirloom.  Even though I have always lived in a farming community, I have never know the difference between Heirloom and Hybrid.  And now that I know, why put anything on the table other than the best.  I am determined that I can do something small and simple to help my family live a long, healthy and beautiful life.  Now I know that growing my own Heirloom vegetables isn't going to ensure a long, healthy and beautiful life, but I am convinced it will help. 

     There are many great things about heirloom seeds, but I must say that one of my favorites is bragging about the names and the uniqueness of everything I have purchased.  If everything goes according to plan, we will have some very colorful plates this summer.  Hopefully preserving the bountiful crops will ensure a bright winter as well. 

     Sow a seed has begun, now time to grow it green.
