They Grow Up So Fast!

Well, I thought I’d post an update on my plant babies.  First of all, the business card I planted has sprouted!  Within just a few days the first seedlings popped up and now they are developing their first set of true leaves.  I visit with them every day, say hello, give them a little bit of water and tell them how beautiful they are.  It’s exciting to watch them and imagine them all grown up and in bloom.
This is the state of the living room these days.

Less than a month ago these babies were the teeniest of sprouts and look at them now!

The chamomile, calendula and valerian have all been potted up into individual pots.  In fact, they are big enough now to take on the great outdoors so they are spending their days outside.

Our canoe has been temporarily repurposed as a plant nursery.  It provides shelter from the wind, protection from the squirrels and ensures they don’t get run over or otherwise damaged by the traffic that passes through the space.  We can cover the whole canoe with row cover to add a little extra warmth on the cooler days, and just yesterday I picked up two window panes left out for the garbage.  They fit perfectly across the canoe and when the sun shines, the temps inside the canoe get downright toasty.
So far, all the plants seem to be happy, thriving and growing fast!
