This afternoon while everyone was busy playing I sat down for a little while and made some seed packets for our seeds to go traveling in!
I used a simple template for my packets and painted a flower or vegetable on each one.
Wild violets. Local wildflower, one of the first to bloom each spring.
Purple flowering sage. Bumble bees love this stuff! So do I!Sweet William, a lovely little biennial flower that smells very spicy-sweet!
Ruby Queen Okra. Nice and tender and soooo yummy! Prolific too!
Orange cosmos..self sows in my flower beds and in the veggie garden. Very cheerful and attracts lots of good bugs!
Calabaza Squash... a very yummy Guatemalan winter squash, not very sweet, excelent in savory dishes!
Guatemalan seeds brought to me by my mother-in-law several years ago! We save seeds for these mild chilis every year! Guatmalan Chili Dulce.
We have several more types of seeds saved that I might be able to share, so I am hoping to get some more seed packets made up soon! I had fun messing around with the paints this afternoon, and before long the boys had abandoned their own projects and where seated at the table painting with me!
Your seed packets look great - you are so talented.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea.
Warm wishes, Tonya
