The beginner gardener grows some grass.

Yes, it's true.

I am growing grass.

The sprouts that sprung from my blocks are not butter crunch lettuce.
They are not eggplant.
And...they are not lovage.

The little sprouts that I was so excited about are grass. The sprouts were getting pretty leggy and I was ready to transfer them into pots until the garden is ready, however, now...well, I won't be putting blades of grass into pots.


But...

if you look closely...



hiding in the grass is what I believe to be a legitimate sprout of some sort. I believe it is lovage. I will have to wait and see. I will also wait to see if the other blocks produce something other than the grass. And, I know I must help the blocks along and clear the grass but I am not so interested in removing them. These blades of grass. The first thing I ever grew

On another note, the weather is not quite ready to give it all up to Spring. Forecasted temperatures for the weekend are lows in the 20s. I don't mind so much. Plan for the weekend is to play with rocks. Rock work I am sure is better when it is cooler out.

24, 48 and 72 hours later

I must admit I'm extremely excited about my soil blocks. Posting photos from 24, 48 and 72 hours after they sprouted.
