Gardens for Children
The Annual's Pocket of Seeds
One year, and the pocket that outlives it
William Vincent Carleton
An annual lives its whole life in a season, and browning is only the pocket opening. Ada shakes a dry flower head over a jar and the seeds tick like rain; Dee caches one, which is fine if you planted extra. This third Gardens for Children book teaches seed saving, labeling the jar with name and year, and letting go of guilt when frost comes early.
