I have that same seed company saved for where to purchase hopefully in the near future! I'm so intrigued by it.

I relate strongly to your cookie decorating struggle. I'm an artist, and I enjoy cooking and baking, and I find it hilarious just how BAD I am at decorating cakes. Like, abysmally bad.

I'm in the PNW and in the early stages of hardening off seedlings. This is the first year that I've successfully grown them and so it's all quite new. Beds are out of control from being recently injured and sick, but I'm hoping it will come together.

Your writing is a joy and my own bit of dopamine. Thank you for sharing it.

Loved the link to the Smithsonian article about coffee. Just returned to buying green beans after a few years delaying to fix our roaster... and still need to do that. Knowing more about the current state of coffee production made buying green from fair-trade family-owned shadegrown farms an easy decision, though it solves almost nothing for anyone except my wallet.

Also it's quite lovely to see someone encouraging others to grow, make, and bake. And to start small, read, research, accept failures and try, try, try again. Am subscribing.
