This fall I took packets of dill I had bought back in 2004 and 2006 and sprinkled them in two pots to see what would happen.Three of the 2006 seeds germinated. Two of these plants are now about a foot tall and growing nicely on my windowsill.

This spring I plan to do the same with my accumulated packets of lettuce. So many different kinds... I think I must fall in love with the photos on the packets.
