And how are they doing? Anything good come up? I planted 2 packets of seeds this marnin’ (felt the need to say it Irish style.) Don’t know why The first pack was called “Blanket of Snow” .. little white flowers that look like freshly fallen snow when they sprout. I sprinkled them over my Tommy’s grave. I was hoping he would make it to the new place with me, but I saw how he was getting thinner and thinner so it wasn’t a shock, yet still felt like a shock. :( Happened about a month ago and his brother Timmy, the last survivor of the 5-pack cat family, is really missing him. Last thing I wanted to do was bury him here, the place I despise, but my choices were limited. I don’t believe in cremation, you never know if God wants your body intact or if you’ll need your bones in the afterlife. I purposely used a “Life Water” bottle to water the seeds to send the signal to Tom, and the rest of the fam, that Timmy needs some life brought back from his family. Maybe a cousin, maybe a return sibling, whatever Mama Cat desides, that’s who will return. And I get the feeling it will happen when I move (19 days) but who’s counting. Now, onto some more cheerful news. I also planted a Money Plant. It’s all set up in my room, planted 10 seeds for me in a pot, and 10 for my Dad. Already in his room too, watered, and waiting to grow. He slept through the whole thing. It will come in handy for when we move. $$$$ I don’t know if he’ll be staying with me or not, maybe/probably. But somebody will definitely be staying with me. I have back-ups. So what have you been growing lately? Check out pic, those Money Plant leaves remind me of scalloped potatoes. Very cool-looking leaves, kinda translucent.

I remember the Lunaria, my grandmother had it in her garden. I have seeded nothing this year, we moved at the beginning of March and it was exhausting. Next year I will seed tomatoes on our terrace.

My sunflowers are doing well, as you may have seen. Today, I planted a single sunflower seed that I found in my pocket.

I've never had much luck with seeds. I'm not regular enough with watering.

Your money plant has beautiful scalloped leaves. I've planted a green money plant and some mint, and I'm excited to watch them grow. I hope Timmy finds comfort, and maybe your feeling about a return will come true in its own way.
