Savoring Seeds with the Bookish Gardener
April 7th, 2005 by Kathy Purdy · 3 Comments
March blew through with the mood swings of a diva… freeze! thaw! snow! thunderstorms!… “tempera-mental,†indeed. But the weather always turns the corner in April. The garden shows only the earliest signs of green, but spring finally seems plausible, and I’m even emboldened to regard the coming of tulips with the same certainty as taxes.
Chan Stroman’s second column for Saucy perfectly captures what seed starting is all about–not the “howto” of it (though the process is outlined) but the “heart” of it. If you’re a plant lover who’s started his or her own plants from seeds, you will find yourself nodding in agreement.

About Kathy Purdy
Kathy Purdy discovered the joys of writing in fourth grade, when she started corresponding with a former classmate. She's been writing letters ever since, first on looseleaf, then electronically, and now as weblog entries. That makes you, the blog reader, her pen pal. Her first independent (though frustrating) attempts at gardening were made in high school, though the gardening bug didn't bite hard until her mid-thirties, when she found herself mistress of a rural home on 15 acres. •
