Seed is a promise you make in April and collect in June. Camp Point Seed Company works the yards around this Adams County village — overseeding thin ground, mowing on a set week, trimming and edging, then hauling off whatever the cleanup turns up. The land west of town rolls away toward the Mississippi bluffs, and a lawn that follows those contours looks best cut with the grade rather than against it. Spring rain here is steady enough to fill in bare patches quickly once the seed has been put down right. There is genuine pleasure in watching a beat-up yard come back green.
