Coming Spring

Spring is soon upon the people of the Southern Hemisphere. Sunshine is slowly turning into the usual once again, with clouds and rain still of dominance for time being. The stalks of corn and sunflower plants are of waiting to be seen once again, yet only the present time is of a preventing factor to the sowing of seeds of such plants.
　
A couple days ago the seeds of snow peas were found while in an opened seed packet. According to the packet around now is a good time to sow the seeds of snow peas, however the seeds were supposed to have been sown before August 2007. To think such seeds were left to lie around for so many years in a packet. The seeds were placed into soil yesterday, now it’s a matter of being a game of luck and wait.
　
The current time being of to enjoy the warmth of a house and the words within books. The weather being of a nuisance still of those enjoying being outdoors, yet the coming spring is pleasing knowledge to remember.

Seeds, Spring and Jade

 

Today I have been lucky enough to get some seeds of giant bottle gourd, got ten seeds for the price of five. All seeds have been planted into individual pots, though small, and fed fertilizer; I have much hope for such a plant to grow well. I have also been preparing soil with mulch for when I plant gourd seedlings.

I have also been trying to raise a jade plant from a cutting and all seems well for my first try at growing such a plant. Amusingly, I have noticed quite a few jade plants in my local area once I kept a keen eye for jade plants.

All other plants I have been growing are well and I am to soon plant some chilli seeds I have been waiting until the latest of the four seasons to plant. It is the start of spring to which many flowers have popped up already and hopefully I will also plant some flower seeds, too, to bring some extra colour around the house.

I have to say, I am glad it is warming up. Even though there was much needed rain that came and I even got to enjoy walking through it a number of times, I cannot wait to see the hot days of summer. The Royal Melbourne Show is coming up very soon to which I cannot deny that I am hyped about. Truly, I am a content person.
