the GROW project

In conjunction with Mrs. Nesbitt's ABC Wednesday,
(click on the G below to see her post as well as other participants)
and a Gardening project in which I've agreed to participate . . .

. . . here's my post-of-the-day. :-)

One of the first Garden blogs I ever visited, after I began blogging nearly three years ago, was Mr. Brownthumb of Chicago. He mesmerized me with his informative blog. Quite honestly, I felt that if I ever needed an answer to anything (and he being many years my junior!), he'd have the answer. :-)

He continues to hold my admiration. In his post of January 26, he included a information about a seed project GROW. (Click on the title of the project, at left, to view his post.) He also mentioned that there was still room for participation, should anyone desire to do so. Of course, I jumped right in - feet first, you might say!

The seeds are being furnished by an on-line seed catalog entitled Renee's Garden Seeds (click for transport to her website). Other than keeping records as to how and when I start the seeds, the growing conditions, etc., I am asked to post on my progress once-per-month. If you click on the logo below, you'll see a list of the garden bloggers (in the right side-bar) that are participating.

All that was to say, guess what I found in my mailbox last week? Yes! The items pictured below. Would you say I was GLADSOME BE? :-)

"I'm growing Nasturtium "Spitfire" for the GROW project. Thanks, to Renee's Garden for the seeds."

However, do you see that there was also included a bonus package of Double Cosmos 'Rose Bon Bon' seeds? (Say, "Grateful!") Wasn't that a nice bonus, and incentive to try my gosh-darn-best? :-)

Watch for this same post title once-a-month. Oh! I hope I have something wonderful to show you each month! :-)
