Seeds



Meg and I have been collecting seeds from our garden as the growing season progressed. Last week we went to see the Renoir exhibit at the Philadelphia Museum of Art (if you live in the area, it is a must see) and since then I have been trying to gather as many flower seeds as possible. There is something about an impressionist depiction of a French garden that gets us fired up for color. With the addition of three small flower beds we saw a significant increase in the number of beneficial insects that buzzed through our garden. We're hoping that next year's new beds will attract even more.
