It might have been the unseasonably warmish weather, or my regular visits to Cedarstone's “Garden Road” to see my spouse; but all of a sudden I was in a gardening mood. Most likely it was the sight, when I went to Avery's farm market on Willow Street to buy bread and milk, of a tall shelf crammed with colorful packets from Halifax Seed, Vesey's, and others.
Peas, for example. Years ago, around this time of year, I used to grow batches of them indoors, not for transplanting but to provide fresh, scissor-harvested greens to put in sandwiches, soup, salads and such. Another Avery's seed packet that caught my eye was one offering mixed wildflower seeds. The picture jogged a memory: my ill-fated 2002 project to reduce lawn-mowing and give half my veggie plot a rest. It involved tilling a sizable patch of lawn and growing potatoes there instead. Which worked fine that year; but spud crops need to be rotated. What to plant next?I opted for wildflowers.
