Also, Happy Mother's Day to all the strong women who make it look so easy.
The seedling is a baby apple tree grown straight from a seed found in a real life apple. I took the seed from the apple core after eating the apple and plopped it right into the dirt. Of the eight seeds I planted, it seems this is the one that will try to grow into a tree. The 'greenhouse' is up-cycled from the top of a two liter soda bottle.
Nothing like a little new life to give us all a little perspective on this festive day!
Ciao bella, xoxo!
Grow little Apple tree, grow! How exciting - I hope it keeps it's determination.
ReplyDeleteI once had a 'mispel' medlar when I was on holiday in Italy and I took the seed home ... really took a lot of time to grow it ... now it is standing in my garden and about 3 m high !This winter it almost died of the cold at is a a mediterranean tree and where are not living in a mediterranean climate here ... but waw ... he got through it ! I am so happy and proud of my tree ... even if I he doesn't give fruit .. no other tree around to cross-fertilize.
