Rubye -- You know, I thought the very same thought -- just throw them on some soil and see what happens. Some of the seeds are quite old but I know that seeds usually have a few years of viability. However, I think I will keep them all mixed in my old short canning jar -- the colors and shapes intrigue me. -- barbara
Raining Iguanas, When I was cleaning out my store of seeds I noticed how earthy they looked laying on the table. I scooped them up and placed them in this small old canning jar. I then placed the jar in my primitive wall cabinet. There I could continuously see them in their textures and colors as I passed by. Nice that you suggest that I elevate the photo to a notecard. Thanks -- barbara
Michelle -- I like having the jar in my old wall cabinet. It's at eye level so I notice it as I walk through the room -- the jar reminds me that life is lovely in all forms -- thanks -- barbara
Nance -- Like your play on words lid/cap. Yes, diversity lives in that old jar, another good thought to think about when I look its way -- thanks -- barbara
Wow. I wonder what would happen if you threw them all out into the yard come early spring.
