"In words, like weeds, I'll wrap me o'er,
Like coarsest clothes against the cold"

Saturday my sister took me with her to buy garden seeds at her favorite nursery, Sunnyside Gardens. It was refreshingly small — only two greenhouses — and instead of hundreds of people like at J&J Nursery here, only a dozen or so were browsing the aisles of blooms and veggies. Cheryl helped me choose tender green beans, giant peas, and Serendipity sweet corn. She also talked me into a few seed potatoes and a bag of onions, and I threw in seeds for dark red beets just to be reckless. I added plant starts of sweet basil and green bell peppers to my cardboard box and everything fit so nicely and cost only $20. I can wait to plant!
