I had the most beautiful houseplants before I had kids. I haven’t been able to keep any since then.

Is seed math like chicken math?

I -THINK- that I have everything I need. DH’s truck died on the way to a Super Bowl party so he’s finally home after four days, and the assistant is on vacation, so I haven’t been able to check the mail (they have the keys). But tomorrow I’ll get my seeds and start making my maps!
