Today: A Bitter Wind & Micro-greens - To Fall Like A Drop Of Rain...


 Can it be???

The wind howled all night...
A bitter, biting COLD.

Hard to believe...
In only a few weeks

I can be working in my garden...

 A New Thing... 


I'm trying a new thing -- growing micro-greens under lights indoors.  I just planted them last Friday evening and already the small shoots are growing tall.  The rapini was the first up and although the sprouts still only have their seed leaves they are almost 3" tall.  The peas are almost as tall and have more leaves.  The fenugreek is at about the same stage as the rapini, but not quite as tall.  The sunflowers are the slowest...  They're only about 1" tall and the leaves are still just breaking out of their seed husks...  


I so enjoy watching things grow!  The sheer MAGIC of the process enthralls me... I never seem to tire of it.  I watch as plants emerge out of small dried up seeds that look like dead bits of dirt...
