A wonderful drawing – and such fun to have the opportunity to share seeds and group orders with the Urban Farm Coop group.

I love how the internet can connect so many people toward a common goal. Saving on food cost, helping the enviroment, teaching out children about cycles of life or just enjoying the sun shining on our face. Gardening is one good health addiction that keeps with in touch with our souls and connects us my souroundings. Would love to entered in the drawing. I love growing seeds to grow and to hand out plants to people passing by.
It is amazing what one small plant can do for someone!
Happy Valentines all!

Char – I need to ask you what a pepper tree is, I’ve never heard of that. I researched avocado trees to see if I could grow one indoors and couldn’t find any info on it. Have you ever tried to grow one from seed? I’d love to help you design a Will garden! Just take notice of how many hours of sunlight your garden spots get so we can put things in the right place (try to draw a diagram for me.) Maybe I can come over next Sunday to peek at it and then draw up a map for you.

Ronni – feel free to shout or email me anytime! I bet it will feel like purging to cut that pear tree back – I’ve never seen a pear tree that size before! If you make note of where you want to grow I can come over and help you plan it.

Chris – I should have looked for a nail scrubber to include in the giveaway.

Annette – no need to enter me in the drawing since I’m sure others are better prepared to use the seeds – but wanted to give you a heads up that I am going to try for a better vegie garden this year than last. Be prepared for me to yell over the back fence for some gardening tips, ok? We are planning on having the pear tree cut back a lot so we can get more sun and reduce the hazard of pears falling on our heads while on the deck. But you’re still welcome to any of the pears you can gather. Love your blog!

Hi – I enjoy gardening but work full time so it makes it tough. I grew up in Cal (don’t hold it against me pls!) and my parents had orange, madrain oranges, lemons, avocados, peach, persimmon, pepper trees. We had a huge rose garden and grew tomatoes and peppers. We gave away grocery bags of avocados and oranges and lemons! I hate paying .50 for lemons!! Anyway, last year we planted a small garden: onions, carrots, zuchs, pumpkins, lettuce, sunflowers, tomatoes. I have a hard time with the tomatoes b/c of Seattle’s short sun and hot temperatures.

We have a child with Duchene Muscular Dystrophy and alot of time is spent doing things for him. But I wanted him to know about gardening and how satisfying it can be and how great your own veggies taste.

Mama Papaya – I love the pic of the eggs on your banner and your two are beautiful!
Jill – How cool! Where do you teach?
Bob – glad you made it here. There is something so satisfying in eating food you’ve grown seed to table.
Riki – good luck!
