Germinator and Garden Update

Germinator

A couple of weeks ago Barb over at Handbook of Nature Study posted an outdoor challenge of germinating seeds. We accepted the challenges and planted some seeds we wanted to sprout.

This is the African Daisy seed my son planted. He planted 3 seeds but only one germinated. The interesting thing is that he played with his bag so much until the only water left in it was the water that the paper towel absorbed. So we are quite amazed that any of the seeds made it.

Here is the Geranium that I planted. All 3 seeds have sprouted, although there is not much growth. One seed fell in the water. :( But it has a sprout none the less.

My daughter sprouted African Daisies as well and was so excited when hers sprouted that she immediately took it down and planted it. Only one of her seeds sprouted and she left the others to see if they will sprout or not.

Garden Update
Our Garden is coming along. Still no signs of vegetables yet, but the plants are coming along nicely. I went to the store last night and bought some dowels for my bean plants. They were entangling themselves together and then it dawned on me that they were looking for something to grow up! LOL Can you tell that I am new at this gardening thing??

Here is a picture of my sunflower seed. It is maturing nicely.

If you suffer from depression or maybe feel just a little down, I suggest planting something. Watching life sprout before your very eyes is very therapeutic and will definitely lift your spirits!
