I am thankful that it is the last week of teaching for me– for the semester, at least! I am also thankful that some of the students in my [...]

This garden is going to be our biggest one yet!
First, a quick update:
I FOUND A PEA SPROUT YESTERDAY!
I had almost given up on the peas, because it had been 14 days with no sign of a sprout. I was going to sort of poke around in the soil and see (by sacrificing one seed, if [...]

This week I am thankful for:
the way God provides– I have access to research funding for the summer, so I don’t have to TA! It’s certainly a relief to know that I’ll be able to focus all my attention on my research for the next few months after the semester ends.

I came home from work today and as usual, peeked out on the balcony to see how the pots were faring… and I noticed little green things in one of the pots! When I went out to see what was going on, I found little lettuce sprouts in all three lettuce pots! The [...]

This week has been pretty stressful for me, not because anything going on was that intense, but just because I’m getting pretty drained by the whole teaching+research+everything else combination.

Here are some pictures of my cute little sprouts
In the photo above, you can kind of see the loooooong root that this seedling has, since it grew right at the edge of the cup. The seed must have gotten washed over to the side when it was being watered at some point.
I [...]
The tomato seeds have begun sprouting!!
Sometime over the weekend, the seeds sprouted! I have one Yellow Pear, one Tiny Tim, and three Early Girl (one in the upper left cup, and two in the lower right cup) sprouts. Unfortunately I forgot my camera at home today, so I won’t have photos until [...]
