Yeah. Let that sink in for a minute.
SEEDS. $48.
I know what you’re thinking: She’s gone mad.
Cooking is obviously a huge passion of mine. And part of cooking is understanding food and where it comes from. So growing my own vegetables and herbs seems entirely logical if I want to really learn more about what goes on my plate.
I don’t have a green thumb. I kill houseplants. I don’t particularly like dirt or bugs.
That’s all about to change.
I’m going to make gardening my bitch.
Wish me luck.
And in case you were wondering, it’s really not that difficult to spend a lot on seeds. Those $2 packets start to really add up. I purchased mine through the Southern Exposure Seed Exchange, known for it’s selection of organic and heirloom seeds. Even better? They don’t sell genetically engineered seeds or plants. As they state in their catalog (yes, there are catalogs full of seeds): “We wish to support agricultural practice that encourages healthier soils, genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems and, ultimately, people and communities.”
I can get behind a company like that. $48 well spent.
