Little Mikey, I did not know if I should mention your name as to who I got the seeds from.
I appreciate the seeds, and your guidance on planting them. The other half of the bag has sprouted also, so there are lots of seedlings to watch. I just planted the second bag so it will be a few days before they sprout. It was a little late when I looked at the seeds, so I did not see if there were amazonum sprouts or not. I plan on looking tomorrow morning. Your seedlings look great! I think yours were planted about 7 days before I planted their mates. It took 4 days to get here on Friday, and I did not get them planted until Tuesday. I hope mine look that good in a week.
Nancy, I am sure that many of us have thought similar thoughts. 10 years is a long time in a way, but it gets here before we realize it. I look around and think sometimes about how much things have changed here at my house in the last 20 years. Trees that were small are now huge, the landscaping has gotten more detailed and new beds have been made. The laws of natural progression says that the trees and shrubs will get bigger in 10 more years, and the laws of aging says my body will slow down in 10 years. Looks like things are heading in opposite directions. Instead of annuals, we are now
planting more perennials to help make the future gardening easier. We are not replacing some shrubs that died from a blight. The water plants continue to multiply, and so does the work, but eventually I know I will have to cut back some.
Reality can be depressing until I remember that I only have to worry about taking one day at a time, and look at all of the beauty I find in the gardens and ponds on that day! Just thinking!
