Leaving home can be hard, but especially when you've got "little ones" counting on you.
Thankfully, the "little ones" were just some garden seedlings that I had sprouted, but still. To leave them unattended for four or five days can be deadly for them, and I'd rather not lose these little plants.
WOULD THEY MAKE IT?
When I recently took a trip up to Wisconsin I had a few things to worry about while I was gone. The main concern was our animals, so I had a number of neighbors looking after our ducks, chickens, guinea fowl, cow, rabbits, sheep, goats and bottle babies . When it came to my seedlings though, I just took care of them one final time before leaving and hoped for the best.
I've gotten a late start to starting seedlings this year, and I've still got a long way to go. With the desire to provide most of our own food from our own property, it'll take a lot of plants. This is not only a financial goal of being more self-sufficient but also a health goal. For some of us, it is just hard to trust what is on the shelves of the grocery or superstores these days.
Thankfully, it doesn't look like we lost any seedlings during our trip. I was very relieved to see that! Even the small investment of time and effort that I had put into these plants prior to our trip would have been more than I would want to waste. Plus, we are eagerly looking forward to watching these grow this year and eventually tasting the fruit of our labor.
Just so you can hear about a few of the kinds of plants we are growing, I'll share a bit about them. First off, we are excited to be growing some seeds from other steemians this year, like Tobacco from 
At the moment, some of our sprouts are Ghost Peppers, Trinidad Scorpion Peppers, Yarrow, Catnip, Chinese Red Noodle Beans, Korean Goji Berries, Tamarillos, Kiwanos, Germans Chamomile and others. Obviously, we are working on a variety of annuals and perennials, and also on a variety of herbs and vegetables. We've sure got a lot of work to do in the future, but we are excited! Also, we are very glad that the seedlings took care of themselves during our absence.
As always, I'm
