2014 Seed List

These are the seeds I’m going to attempt to grow:

Blue Cornflower Blue Vervain European Vervain Fennel Yomogi Wormwood Rue Italian Parsley Dill Genova Basil Kapoor Tulsi Sow Thistle Mastic Tree Passionflower Strawberry Blonde Calendula Resina Calendula Bodegold Chamomile Borage Sage Cosmos Skullcap Catnip Motherwort

I need more room. (I only have a small deck & container garden.) I’m going to start them on the New Moon on the 30th.

I got the Sow Thistle, Mastic Tree & Passionflower seeds from Camino de Yara (http://caminodeyara.indiemade.com)…a shop I highly recommend!

I’m reading Fellowship of the Ring (for the first time!) (I know, right?!) & I’m feeling fairly nutty about it.

My thoughts are with those struggling for peace & standing up for what they believe in & those who have lost their lives, or loved ones in that struggle.

11 things about me...

Because I’m procrastinating & feel like sharing.

-I’m a Gemini & a redhead. I think this means I’m a lot of fun…but, it probably means I’m a little nutty.

-I started reading tarot when I was 12. 30! years ago.

-I did a PSA for child abuse awareness when I was a kid. I had to hit one of my dolls with a rolling pin.

-I’m thinking of becoming a post-partum doula.

-I’m the survivor of a violent crime.

-I yawn operatically (sometimes). I don’t do it in public :)

-I’m a mutt. Welsh/English/Puerto Rican & Ukrainian Jewish. I feel closest to my Puerto Rican family members.

-I speak Dutch, but not very well.

-I see dead people.

-I used to go to a Spiritualist church.

-I am an herbalist. I make the majority of my own medicines & wildcraft/forage or grow many of the herbs I use.
