In seed-time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy. ~William Blake
seeds! on Sunday (Imbolc), i started seeds for herbs that will be planted in the Healing Garden. this is a rather hopeful move on my part - since that garden has yet to be created. but the H has assured me that it is going to happen, so i have plenty of faith.
yesterday (first day of the Full Snow Moon) i started seeds for the veg and culinary herb gardens. of course, i managed quite a merry mix-up with the 2 types of tomato seeds. i'm sure this will turn into a very valuable lesson in plant identification, not to mention a lesson in staying a good bit more focused!
i do love this time of the year. having seed trays that will require a close vigil does mean i will be spending more time in the greenhouse. it is my Winter Refuge, and a welcome respite from the daily household chores. not only that, it does give me a very positive focus, during the gloomy last 6 weeks of Winter.
i do have plenty of things to get caught up on in there right now - so it isn't just all about the seeds. but i do love the seeds - they have a mystery and magick all of their own.
blessings to you and all that you grow. Namaste.
