A seed here, a seed there...

You never know when the urge to plant a purple carrot or a patch of zinnias will suddenly wash over you. Be prepared with these tiny glass bottle earrings filled with vegetable and flower seeds. Sprinkle cosmos or kale in traffic medians or friends' yards, and spice up those boring beds of petunias at your doctor's office. Earrings for Spontaneous Seeding are perfect for the guerilla gardener or Johnny Appleseed in all of us.

Each pair of earrings includes refills for both jars, so you'll still look stylish after the first seeds are sown. All seeds are from Seed Savers Exchange and are heirloom varieties when available.

Materials: Glass vials, cork, seeds, sterling silver hooks, twine
Making: Assembled by hand in California
Size: 1.75" from top of hook to bottom of vial
Weight: 0.2 oz (surprisingly light)
Packaging: Small plastic baggies with refills

$20.00 per pair

Calendula / Zinnia Earrings
Leave a trail of bright flowers in your path. The pretty orange calendula petals can be tossed into a salad! The zinnia blossoms can reach 5” across and have a wide array of colors. Plant both of these flowers after the last frost. The calendula can tolerate dry conditions while the zinnias like regular watering.

Cosmos / Poppy Earrings
Scatter these spectacular mixed-color poppy seeds in full sun, in early spring or in the fall just before the ground freezes. They will reseed themselves the following year! First noted on the Pacific coast by a Russian expedition in 1815! The cosmos are a mix of colors – white to pink to red – and can grow 4’ tall. Both flowers do well in poor soil and don't need much water.

Cucumber / Bell Pepper Earrings
A great pair for salads or snacking. Friends of balsamic vinegar. Sow the cucumbers in mounds after the last frost in a place with consistent moisture. Warm soil for these thick-walled sweet peppers too. Don’t forget where you scatter them – you might want to return at harvest time!

Melon / Tomato Earrings
Two sweet, juicy summer treats. Melons and tomatoes love heat. Sow the melons in mounds after danger of frost has passed. Wait for warm soil for the tomatoes too. Full sun basking for both. Watch for late summer picnickers in your planting places.

Purple Carrots / Kale Earrings
These special carrots are purple on the outside and yellow-orange on the inside. This pair is a vitamin A dancing duo. Sow both outdoors just before the last spring frost. The kale may last into snow season. If they get covered in aphids, sweet talk some ladybugs over or wait for a frost to freeze them off!

Parsley / Basil Earrings
For lovers of fresh herbs and pesto. This pair does best in warm soil and full sun. This lemon basil is an heirloom from New Mexico with a wonderful citrus aroma. Pinch off the basil’s flower stocks to encourage leaf growth. And parsley is surprisingly high in folic acid and vitamin C – more than most citrus fruits!
