Itchy Fingers






Old Organic Gardening Magazines stacked next to toilets and on nightstands. Stealing little moments here and there to look at square foot garden plans and varieties of sweet potatoes. Colorful photographs of zinnias of every shade. Sketches of vegetable gardens on scraps of paper. Imagining dirt under fingernails. Planning kids' playhouses made from giant sunflowers and morning glories.

Kaleidoscope Mix Carrots
Broccoli

In lieu of a spring break trip to the Virgin Islands, I can get myself excited about seed catalogs and worm bins.
