sing like wildflowers

My full and kooky life as a homeschooling mommy to 2 great kids, raising a child with HLHS (Hypolastic Left Heart Syndrome), coping with depression, following Jesus, and being much too camera happy.

Started March 20th, the pea seeds are planted in one eggshell. Far back on the left side.
March 29th
April 1st.
I poked a hole in the bottom of the egg shell with a tack. After 11 days, the root began to poke through the hole.
The seedling got super tall and wobbly. Time to transfer to a pot.
Peeled the eggshell off and here is the ball of roots with the germinated pea seeds.
Tada! Repotted and propped up with help from a stick.

      Only 11 days and it grew that tall! Wonder how much bigger it will get.

      Thank you Miriam! It was a lot of fun to see them grow and the other seeds are just starting to germinate. I never get basil, so I’m really hoping that this is the spring where I can grow it to some fruition.

    Like the story of Jack and the Beanstalk – it was thriving while your family was laying low with Covid.

      It’s growing taller and today I took wooden chopsticks to support its height. I’m wondering if I should’ve planted it a bigger and taller pot. Maybe if it gets too leggy. I’ll transfer. Hopefully it won’t get killed in the process. I usually start strong with gardening and end up with scraps in a few months. eek!

        I’m no whiz with houseplants, believe me … I am lucky if I can keep a poinsettia until Christmas without it losing the colorful leaves and looking pitiful.

        I usually kill my houseplants too, but my success started with a Pothos plant. I got it 2 Christmases ago and I have propagated many of its stems. And when the fish tank needs some sprucing up, I get some of the stems and place them in the tank.
        If you are interested in a houseplant, like a hardy one, try a Pothos. They are forgiving plants.
