Abundance

March 6:

The little Celeriacs, which Melanie transplanted on Wednesday, March 3, are very content in their new homes. All 72 of them. (Oops. Melanie edited this later.) All 108 of them. And she has plans for more.

Most People don't even know what Celeriac is. They surely don't know what they are missing. We didn't know about it until last year and, are we ever smitten.

Today is a "Leaf Day" so the Plan is that Melanie will be transplanting Celery, Phyllis (yes, Phyllis), and Cauliflower. I plan to transplant some of my beautiful Cabbages. We are faced with a bit of dilemma. It is called "Abundance".

We planted a lot of Seeds for transplanting so far. That means the Seeds and Plants will start inside and we will transplant them into the Gardens or share them with Friends.

We probably are only about 1/2 to 2/3 complete in our planting of Transplants. We have had excellent germination. Room is soon to become an issue. I don't know what it is with Melanie and me but we seem to have little Faith that those little Seeds will actually produce Plants. So we plant a whole Bunch. Then they all sprout. Plus, we cannot bear to kill a living thing, so we just keep finding Homes for them. We have also let the word out that we may have some extras.

Is a "Greenhouse" in our future? We would like 1, but like most Folks, we are long on hopes and dreams but short on cash. We shall have to ponder this 1. But in the meantime, we need to find homes for the increasing number of Seedlings who are making themselves at home right here on our Little Farm.

Seeds do what they are supposed to. Farm Life stimulates creativity. Abundance is a good thing.
