The New Seed Catalogs Are Here!!

"And what does a seed catalog have to do with yoga?", I ask myself.  I sit down with a cup of coffee and prepare to read this Botanical Interests Seed Catalog like a good book.

Chapter 1:  Inspiration Starts here 
Immediately, I am drawn to the beautiful art ("captivating botanical illustrations" it says) and the interesting descriptions. Arugula Wild Rocket Salad, Roquette, is described as follows:

Cool season.  30-45 days.  Walk on the wild side!  If you like arugula, you are going to love this one!  Great complex, spicy flavor, and very easy to grow from seed.

I peel off a sticky note and put myself down for 2 packets of Arugula seeds.  Please note that I've started ordering and I'm on page 1, letter A.  This could get pricey.  I'm gonna need more coffee.

 

Chapter 2:  Growing FriendshipS

"In our hurried, emotionally detached society, gardens bind us together in ways that grow more than beautiful flowers and flavorful vegetables.  Gardens grow hope and friendship."  The story describes an 80-year-old widowed goat farmer and a mother of two who, through fate, divine intervention or coincidence, cultivate a friendship.  Similarity to yoga?  Check.

Chapter 3:  Good Vibes grow at garden parties

"...there's something special about everyone being together in the fresh air and sunshine, surrounded by lush blooming plants.  In the natural setting and festive atmosphere, they relax..."

 

Chapter 4:  learn & grow
Digging deeper.  Nurturing the seeds of inspiration and life.  Witnessing with joy and amazement the miracles of nature.  Finding wonder in your own backyard.  Gardening.  Yoga.
