Sprouts Of Survival

I’ve always been excited when a seed I plant sprouts. Each new sprout represents new hope, a new chance to produce something that will feed my family and reduce our dependence on the food supply system.

Most gardeners look at sprouts somewhat similarly. After all, I suspect the excitement for new life is encoded on our DNA or something.

However, right now, I have black bean and tomato sprouts that have just popped up and they mean so much more to me.
