Out at 11 to keep the water trough from slushing up. This time I took Pity on Rosalie and put her coat on. K bought it in the fall, and I don't think she has ever worn it before. She was not thrilled.

She said, "I - can just stay on the porch? Right?"

As a matter of fact, no, Rosalie, you cannot.

I can't even.

She did eventually get the hang of moving in it, but continued jumping into the air and shaking vigorously, trying to get rid of it.

Meanwhile, Hero and the gang are just hanging out by the haybale. Enduring stoically.

Ah, to be a brand new baby on a warm March day, with the green grass just peeking through the brown, and Mama's milk sweet.

i started this business in 2019 as a plant nursery, but quickly jumped into the rabbit hole that is seeds. seeing a sapling emerge from the seed or soil is top 5 things that make me happiest in life. to fuel this serotonin and to save money for my nursery business i taught myself how to save seeds, and in the process learned how seeds are legit the most important aspect of successfully growing a garden.

there are a lot of non-profits that focus on non-perishable food pantries, saving produce from being discarded and redistributing, and cooking fresh meals for those who need them. all amazing food going where it needs to go, today. but what about the food for tomorrow? how do we ensure that we can keep feeding ourselves, and our community?

that's where seeds come in.

my non-profit exists to help people obtain food security for the future. by saving seeds from plants that grew in your own environment - with your own schedule, resources, and ability - those plants are now passing down the genetics and what they learned to thrive in your environment to their off-spring. the more often you save those seeds and repeat this process, the more fruitful your plants will be the next time you start those seeds.
