The Seed Project

Getting ready to open the can of seeds!
A drum roll would have been nice!
I don't know what the original purchaser of the can of seeds thought the world would be like when the day came the can was opened.
But this is what it looked like with the lid off.

I left this sideways so the print would be bigger.
When I turn it upright, the words are too small to read.


The top part of the can had bags of the larger seed, such as beans, peas, and corn.


I'm not sure what I expected, but I was surprised to see regular seed packets.
The plastic bag with beet seed in it was stuck to the bottom of the can.
Since it would have torn the bag to pull it loose, I left it.
There's the collection!


This is the initial list of who and what.
The names and the "what" grew over time!
BELOW
are the planting directions:





Okay, this isn't a planting direction. Some of the pictures are mixed up!
This is one of the envelopes being prepared.
The people who only wanted a small amount of seed got regular envelopes.

Wow, the old-style copy machines! I remember those!













Someone else's seeds being packed up to mail.







That's it!
Happy gardening, everyone!
I can't wait to hear how it goes!
