Germ-inating

Germination. Germ-i-nation. That word perfectly describes what I think about getting my hands dirty in soil. There's a nation of germs, and "I" am in the center. Ew.

But I really want garden-fresh produce this Summer. I want to can and freeze my own home-grown stuff. I want to embrace the country life.

This I can handle. You pour some water into these little compressed peat mixtures and they puff up.

Drop in a few seeds.

Label the suckers.

And in 77 days I'll pick peppers and tomatoes, right?

I don't actually have a garden to put these in.

But I've got 6-8 weeks to worry about that.
