After spending at least two years in a little paper packet, a seed unexpectedly found itself in soil. And it didn’t waste a moment. Only eighteen hours later, look what it has decided to become. Find your soil and grow as hard as you can.
Find your soil! Grow! Grow!

Fantastic, wise words! what a brave wee seed! c
Looks kind of like Audrey 2.
I absolutely adore the emerging plants in spring. Raking leaves away and discovering what is coming up. Way cheaper than therapy!
Absolutely!
Great shot!
Hope you are reaching for the sun as well on this retreat.
YAY!!!! I’m planting my basil, lettuce, cilantro and peppers this weekend! Wish me luck!!!
Its so cute !
I love the imagery. Thanks for this.
Hi,
I have a feeling this little plant is going to be more than spectacular, it just can’t wait to grow up. 😀
What is it going to be when it grows up? A flower? A herb? A tree?
Oh, this is such a fun part of gardening. I get down on my hands and Knesset to get a good look at the tiny green critters.
I love autocorrect.
How hilarious – spell check translated “knees” to “Knesset”!
Only 18 hours? That’s amazing. And I love your comparison to how we as humans need to find our soil and grow. So true!
Someone keeps putting rocks on top of my head. I can’t grow!
I love the metaphor of seeds – the fact that some can remain viable for 50 years gives me hope.
This post gave me chills! It’s exactly what I need to do.
Reminds me of the little seeds we’d always plant in grade school in styrofoam cups. I remember the joy of seeing that first little sprout!
