So, last night, while misting the seedlings, I was getting worried, because there were not any sprouts at all. This morning, I awoke to 2 new sprouts, and by the time I am writing this, 5 little tomato plants have reached themselves out of the ground.
Outside, the little sprouts covering the bed in the front yard are rigorous and green, and we have bulbs starting to poke through the surface.
I was so excited, that Zen and I decided to plant the jasmine we "gathered" the other day. He got a little bit frustrated because their "hair" came off when he pushed the seed into the ground. He kept adding more seeds to each part until they all had their hairs sticking out.
*It was a nice lesson for him. When we split the pods to remove the seeds, the hairswere flat and all pointed straight up. After a couple days in the envelope getting oxygen, they spread out and fluffed up. It opened a dialogue about how plants make their seeds travel and grow in new places. We talked about how amazing it is that seeds can fly, be burned or frozen, or need to be eaten to grow.*
