Laura, zucchini is on the list, definitely! Just 1 or 2! As you know, they can be a bit prolific! We also have a spot for herbs just under the kitchen window - I do think I like your idea about planting seeds (literally) rather than "plantlings"!...

The idea of planting seeds in our lives and careers as well as our gardens - I love that.  I am lucky enough to live in SoCal, so right now I'm harvesting lettuce and broccoli, but tomato, pepper and herb seeds need to be started in my windowsill. ...

Tina, In my deepest heart, I have come to believe that he came to say goodbye.  It was time for both of us to let go. And I believe that your father did come to you - to help you ... I hope he did! Hugs ...
