who plants a seed

Plant a seed and wait for growth: Sounds hopeful to me.

Starting seeds is a new project (I’ve mostly bought seedlings from nurseries). I am using this kit from Gardener’s Supply.

To give me the best chance at little sprouts, I re-read my gardening books. I came across some phrases that stuck with me. The phrase ‘bucket farmer’ comes from a book called Movable Harvests. I liked it (rather than ‘container gardener’ or ‘urban food grower,’ etc.).

The phrase ‘grow food at home’ is my take on a quote I saw in another good container gardening book. The original phrase was “eat what you grow where you live.”

A rather sweet man whipped together a bucket/plant design for me (with me sitting next to him saying helpful things like, “can you make it look like it’s an old pail?”). Thanks, B. You were unreasonably patient.
