I am in love with seeds. The idea. The potential. The possibilities locked in such a concise space. The growth. The wonder. The mystery.

My newest passion is to make my yard as edible as possible. I have ordered heirloom seeds, rooted cuttings, and grafted trees. I have turned large areas of the yard into vegetable bed and trellised fences. I spend my evenings reading vegetable seed packets, taking notes as to which to soak and when to plant. It is calming as well as exciting to tune into mother nature’s rhythms.

Every design idea starts with such a seed.
