“As one of our family rituals, we have taken to the practice of planting peas and sunflowers on St. Patrick’s Day. It is our chance to get dirty and start to build the anticipation for this year’s garden. Best of all, the peas do not seem to mind the still chilly and damp soil. As we tend to our chores, we talk about the upcoming garden and reminisce about last year’s harvest and wonder if the swallowtails will remember to lay some eggs again this year.”
