I have planted some sweetpea seeds. The plan is that in Spring, they will climb up the wrought iron barrier around our front porch. It occurs to me that planting seeds is an act of faith. What is to say that these tiny shrivled balls will really grow to be climbing plants with fragrant flowers? It seems so unlikely. Especially if you've never come across seeds before.
It is faith that encourages me to water them. In my mind's eye I can already see them adding colour to the front of my house. That is faith. I believe the coloured pictures on the front of the seed packet. I believe that if I follow the instructions, I too will get a harvest of fragrant flowers. Faith isn't so difficult, is it?
