Today, I am thankful for seeds and seedlings.
A seed hidden in the heart of an apple is an orchard invisible. ~Welsh Proverb
Several of the seeds I planted a few weeks ago are beginning to grow. Unfortunately, I forgot to mark the bins. So, except for the mirabilis multiflora, I can't tell one seedling from another. I'll be able to identify the plants in a few weeks once they've grown more leaves. Each plant variety has a distinctive leaf shape.
I'm quite pleased at my good luck. Now my gardens - especially the backyard locations - will have new additions. I will give any surplus to friends and neighbors. Free plants from a reliable source - a real luxury when you're an avid gardener with limited funding.
I also want to note that the amaryllis that my sister, J, gave me for Christmas is thriving (see white pot in the photo). I think it may bloom in a few days.
For this blessing, I am grateful.
Amen.
