    (((Katholicos))). When the seeds grow you will feel the sadness for your dad but also the happiness of his pride in you continuing with them. My dad used to plant flowers at my mum's grave and enjoyed seeing them bloom. A hard thing to do but gives some sense of peace I think. Seeds and growth were helpful to me when my parents died, also seeing new growth in spring (both died during winter seasons) as this was a reminder to me of nature's continuation, new growth, new beginnings. Thinking of you.
    I have enjoyed reading everyone's posts about growing their own produce. Quite a little green fingered frugal community in here.
