The optimism planted in February in forty cells, of which three will sprout and one will survive.

Seedtrayhope is sown with a pencil, a packet, and a plan for the whole summer. The trays are misted daily with ceremony, and the first sprout is announced like news. By June the hope has been consolidated into two strong tomatoes and a basil that is trying, which is what the whole exercise was for.

Etym. — seed tray + hope — the annual optimism of the windowsill nursery.

Rel. — firstharvestbrag
