creating life

I make lots of holes in the soil with my fingertips and plop two to three seeds into each - seed for amaranth and dill. Then I sprinkle a light layer of soil on top. I feel like a scientist at a reproductive medicine centre as I pat the soil down in the seed tray. In this little action, I am creating the beginnings of life. It's my first experience in memory of planting food. A historic and potentially lifechanging moment! (Friday morning 10.30am)
