In the crates:
- Some onions that I planted too close together (another epic garden fail)
- French sorrel
- Spinach
- Parsley
- Dill
- Curly leaf kale
- Red and green chard
- Cabbage
- Lemons
- Lemon balm for tea
Okay, perhaps you planted some seeds this weekend!
Let's give them a check.
It still might be too soon for any of them to sprout, however, after 5 days, I notice some very eager cucumbers:
This is great news because I planted some cucumbers in the school garden and half of them died (maybe too hot?)
...It's good to have backup seeds!
*If you planted seeds and still have some left in the pack, SAVE THEM! You never know when you'll want to plant them again!
*You can build your collection of seeds (sometimes called a "seed library") and save them or share them.
Taking photos is a great way to "journal" your progress and track changes.
*Everything around us is constantly changing.
*Scientifically, it has to!
*Just like you can expect your seeds to change, you can expect yourself to change, too!
*Expect and accept change, instead of getting angry or frustrated at it.
*Some of the seeds will sprout. Some of them won't.
*We can observe what happens to our seeds like a scientist would.
*That means, without getting angry at the seeds, just accepting whatever happens to them, either way - the reality of the seeds as it is, not as we would like it to be.
Writing and drawing (journaling) is a great way to keep track of changes and in-the-moment observations:
Take 9 minutes and 14 seconds of quiet time each day to journal about your seed changes, what you see outside the window, how you're feeling, or even what sounds you hear from wherever you are (any birds?).
How many sounds are there?
From what directions do the sounds come from?
On Friday, we'll make a "sound map" and learn more about birds in the garden.
Until then, take care Everyone, Everywhere!
