Believe It Gardening

From a 2003 Mandarin post. . .

Confessions of a Seed Freak
Notice the price. Ten cents. We do everything the free, cheap, and easy way. This year, with limited mobility, we found new ways to garden.

A conversation at work...

But you can't garden.
Ah, yes we can. We use seeds. With bargain-priced grass seed and plenty of flower seeds our garden is glowing in color today (we will step outside in a minute to get a picture).

How do you garden? You can't walk.
Easy. Empty the seed onto the ground and push the seeds down with my cane or a stick.

You can't plant seeds all year.
We did.

Step outside and take a picture.
It's fun to break the rules. We already have a yard full of flowers.

Our Garden
If we had followed the seed packet instructions we wouldn't even be planting the seeds yet. Today is Friday and we sprinkle seeds just about every Friday and some days in between. Today we are planting the 10 cent packet.
