Patience is a virtue

This week, the seeds we planted directly into our garden grew. It has been exciting to see them sprout and grow so quickly in comparison to the germination station. The radishes sprouted first, then the wax beans sprouted and dramatically grew bigger than the radishes and sunflower sprouts, which grew only a few days ago. 

Germination Station
Our germinating seedlings needed to be thinned in order to continue developing. After weeks of growing inside we had to separate the bunches of seedlings for them to have enough room. Sadly, my Zinnia seedlings have almost halted growing and wilted. The loss of my first seedling has taught me something about patience. Even though it was my first seedling, it still ended up dying yet my other plants, which I never thought would grow have all started doing better than the Zinnia. It goes to show it’s not always the fastest performing that performs the best

Now that we’re separating our seedlings and maintaining our gardens outside, I’m starting to see the therapeutic and relaxing aspects to gardening. Seeing my plants grow everyday actively makes me a happier person, I love the process of growing plants and helping them grow. I hope the Alyssum’s we just planted grow big and beautiful as well!
