I’m so excited that it’s time for planting. Every year, my dad has a beautiful garden that is a wonderful source of fresh tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, carrots, corn, peas, beans, garlic, horseradish, chives, beets, potatoes, and pumpkins. We’re going to try out a strawberry patch this year (though it won’t yield until next year) and we always try to grow parsley, basil and rosemary in planters, but with mixed results. To celebrate this time freshly tilled earth and bright green sprouts, here’s a collection of Etsy handmade and vintage finds from some old favorites and new discoveries!
