Seedlings!!!

Planting seeds is fun. Thoughts of a plant growing- it's potential- perhaps dreams of a yummy meal, but all those thoughts pale in comparison to the absolute joy of discovering the first seed pop up. I've been doing this for over a decade now and seeing the first seed emerge, just doesn't get old!! 
In just two days after planting 50+ varieties of seeds, the first seed made it's way into the word with a little green speck. A variety of luffa squash, that will someday (Mother Nature willing) grow into a big beautiful squash that we can dry and save to use. We tried to grow them last year, but the bugs ate all the starts we started early, and the seeds we planted, although they did grow, just didn't have enough time to develop fully. Such a disappointment- i.e. motivation for success this garden season!
