The excitement continues in my little deck garden! After seeing little wildflower sprouts coming up in the ceramic pot, now called Melvin & Heidi’s Pot, I check on them every morning and talk to them. Every day, I swear they are 1/8th inch taller than the day before. If you missed the original post about the history of these seeds, you can find a link here.

I’m already looking forward to next week’s report.

Meanwhile, the tea rose has its first spring bud, and the avocado trees are happily growing root-bound in their pots now that they are outside in the fresh air and sunshine. I expected them to die from the fumes always present in my hubby’s shop. Gasoline, varnish, and other toxic smells are in there.

Remember Carlos? He is doing well in Castro Valley, although he is a little lonely. I plan to handle his predicament by sending Sophia home with Jason and Karla this summer.

It is probably only a matter of time before my family has me committed to a facility. First, I’m raising avocado trees in the Sierra Nevada. Now I am match-making these trees.

Stay tuned …
