Some gardeners honor the official beginning of spring by planting peas.
I rearrange the dining room furniture. Pagan or otherwise, gardeners celebrate spring in many ways, and my favorite spring ritual is starting seeds. The basics of seed starting are not too difficult, and although I have grown thousands of plants from seed it is always a leap of faith for me to expect most of them to grow. Just remember one seed packet may hold hundreds or even thousands of seeds, depending on the variety. Finding space for all those seedlings can be a real scramble.
