  1. Oh a delightful poem and video Michele. I love your rhyme and learning more about Luther Burbank and his seeds! Wonderful. Will share with my granddaughter this weekend. I read her a Magic School Bus on seeds and gardens and this will be perfect as an addition. I have so enjoyed watching poets I know and new ones, too, sharing their poetry here.
