There are so many things happening in the garden and greenhouse, it is impossible to keep up! My mission this spring was to plant all of the old seeds I already owned, and I\u2019ve pretty much done that. There are trays in the coldframe, the greenhouse and some starter cups in the guest room window on heat. I love how fast some of the seeds come up, like the marigolds\u2013they were up in 3 days! There are some palm trees coming up from the seeds that followed me home from Oahu, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the plant most connected to my youth\u2013this is a cutting from the crab apple tree my parents had in our front yard of our Burien house circa 1963-1975.
