Strange Happenings

Anyone who reads my blog knows about my gardening impatiance!  I want everything to grow NOW!

Friday, I had given up on my herbs and purchased two four inch pots of basil.  The next morning, I was watering my "herbs" (Okay, I hadn't entirely given up) and noticed that there are at least four shoots of...guess what?...BASIL!  So irritating...if I had just waited.

Then, one of my other planters got knocked over.  Since nothing was growing in it (I check DAILY and not a hint of green) I wasn't that upset.  I just tipped it back in place and what do you supposed I saw?  About ten Parsley shoots!  Isn't that weird?  I guess they were just about to break through the dirt when it was bumped!

Now I am tempted to kick all the planters around a bit and see what happens.  My husband is encouraging me to resist that temptation and just wait.  We'll see...

I know about being impatient. It is like the saying a watched pot never boils. I am on a bird kick, so we put up two new bird feeders and a wren house. I don't know how much time I have wasted just watching to see if something would please eat some of the food I have put out. And I mentioned to my mom in law that a wren hasn't gone into the house. She told me they haven't come back into the area yet...Patience is a virtue, one that I have to work on.

I understand

I'm impatiently waiting for my seeds to sprout, I'm hopeful but getting anxious.
Well done on your success.
