The Triumph of Seeds
The tomatoes that I intentionally grew from seeds are doing well, and
the vines are loaded with tomatoes that we will begin harvesting pretty
soon.
A couple of years ago I read a fascinating book, The Triumph of Seeds, by Thor Hanson. It's an amazing story of the fortitude, strength, resiliency, adaptability, and persistence of seeds. I'm learning about that fact in the garden. Hardly any of the seeds I planted in the fall garden have germinated. I still have a lot to learn about fall gardening.
The tiniest of the seeds, however, did germinate, and I harvested a pretty little handful of radishes yesterday, which ended up in our Easy Thai-Style Asian Salad last night. (Thanks to Jamie Oliver for the recipe.)
The lettuce mix I planted is doing well also.
However, there are a lot of things that planted themselves that are growing well in the garden. Those little seeds must have been really strong-willed.
