Recently, every time I step out behind my house and look into the stream, I see a blanket of green gold (Watercress) carpeting the crisp clear spring-fed water. It heartily grows there throughout the year, only dying back for a short time during the high heat of the summer and bouncing back with full vigor again in the late summer/fall.

Spring circles around again, and as we have for thousands of years, we plant seeds of hope for our future. The seed is the beginning of the cycle and also the end. These days, as we vote with our dollars, we can choose to continue supporting the return to a clean planet by buying seed that was grown organically.
