Sowing seeds of kindness

Sowing in the morning, sowing seeds of kindness,

Sowing in the noontide and the dewy eve;

Waiting for the harvest, and the time of reaping,

We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.

American Gospel song, 1875

Maya and her Dad Tom started a seed-saving project this summer. What fun. Vegetable seed packets are expensive, especially when you're planting a large garden.

But mostly, there's just something nice about growing new crops from the best of the old. I remember our Mom always had a lard can filled with seeds she saved from year to year. Seeds are beautiful and fascinating.

Here's an interesting little video about the most expensive seeds on the planet.
