Time to order the seeds

This time of year, you get the Christmas all packed up and put away and then out comes the seed catalog .   It's time to decide what and how much you are going to plant in the spring then place your order.  Many of you will know that excitement.  

In Kyrgyzstan there are so many families that would love that privilege ... But despite having the room for a garden and the desire to plant it, they simply can not afford seeds .. especially at the end of a long winter.


That's why every year we provide 
Over 250 families with seeds , and in some cases we even help with the plowing and planting. 

This year rather then going around delivering the seeds door to door , we are going to have a seed party in the playground  We will have a BBQ and have some small toys as gifts for the kids and while the kids are playing, the parents can pick up their seeds and seed potatoes .  
   The cost for the seeds will be $3000. The party and gifts will be on top of that but we have a couple months to worry about that.  Right now I just need come up with the seed money.  We will place the order Monday or Tuesday.  Fortunately we only have to pay 50% or $1500.  The balance in the middle of March .  We would love if any of you would be willing to be a part of planting seeds in the lives of hundreds of families in Kyrgyzstan.  You can donate now at the top right side of the blog.
