All in Gardening
When you grow vegetables and herbs from seed, they first emerge and sprout a set of two leaves. These are not the true leaves, these are known as cotyledons. The cotyledons are what actually started as the seed itself and it provides nutrition to the seedling as it grows.
As I write this, I am witnessing my first tomato in the garden this season and the last can of tomatoes from last year's garden. It's bittersweet.
My first year of gardening, I'll admit, my yield of edibles was pretty dismal.
I love the start of the gardening season. It's filled with so much hope and optimism. It's the moment your seeds turn to seedlings and they start to resemble their future selves with their true leaves. It's the moment you see promise and hope in the coming months.
