Well, the seeds are in...now we wait for growth. 
I'm doing things a bit differently this year and it's mildly nerve-wracking... I'm not planting annual vegetables.  That means no tomatoes, peppers, cabbage, etc...  The reason I've made this decision is that I have a lot of landscaping that needs to be done and I want that accomplished through perennial herbs, flowers, and food.  In order to do that economically I need to sacrifice having a traditional garden this year so that I can utilize that space in growing out these little guys so that they can be transplanted elsewhere. 
 
 
So....This summer will see me at the Farmer's Market more than in previous years but I believe it will be worth it!

I've been trying to keep busy in between bouts of introspection and the craziness that comes with moving on, actually moving, divorce, and all the rest of life's craziness and decisions.  Working on this recycled paper basket has helped me pass the time at work.
