'Tis the Season


       Sunny day. Brisk, clear.  
       Time to start putting the garden on paper.
I stopped in to Sam Bridge's Nursery on North St. in Greenwich  today and asked if they had any seeds leftover from last year. They generously offer their "old" but perfectly good seeds to schools for on site gardens. Ask your own local garden centers for their seeds. The germination rate may be slightly lower, but that's not really a problem. We always have more seeds than we have land on which to plant.
My objective this year is to go totally organic and to encourage others to do the same. I love that they had Milkweed, Asclepias tuberosa, a beautiful orange milkweed. Snapped that up. Another objective is to become more butterfly and bee friendly.  Enjoy the process.
