So in January, when I could hardly stand it, I begin reading through my gardening books and internet articles. I stumbled upon topics such as Heirloom seeds, sustainable gardening, survivalist living. I was intrigued. I decided to commit to an organic Heirloom garden this season and see what all the fuss is about. As you get older and think of the earth you are leaving your children, you begin looking at living in this world differently. How can you do the things you do with less of a hurtful impact on the earth? This is what I want to find out. It was still January and I couldn't go outside and get dirty so I decided to order my Heirloom seeds. After reading many reviews, I ordered from Baker's Creek Heirloom. I went a little over board, but all my reading indicates that I need to help the world of seed savers keep these seeds going.... I'm just doing my part.
