Sowing a birthday card!
I bet that caught your attention! 🤣
At the insistence of our granddaughter I’m going to do a short blog post on the above theme!
Last year I wrote a blog on her helping me repot some cacti. I included some pictures where her hands were visible & she remembered those photos & the blog this afternoon.

When I asked her if she wanted to help me sow the birthday card she bought for me a week or so ago she insisted I share some pictures with my friends! 🤣
So here are the pictures:
She chose this card for my birthday as it is biodegradable & contains seeds embedded in the cardboard. Only it doesn’t say what the seeds are, only that they are pollinator friendly!
You can see her hands again!

Lovely idea, Balc!!! It'll be a really nice surprise when you start to see developing plants! I can't wait to see what appears, you must show us!!! 😊

That’s a lovely idea David … really hope they germinate for you both!

Thanks all! 👍🏻 As far as I know it was all her idea! As her dad likes gardening (a right chip of the old block!) he may have been watching the Chelsea Flower Show on TV or she may have seen the card went they went to a garden centre, I don't know.
But, like you, I look forowrd to seeing what germinates in a week or so's time! I will certainly keep you updated as well!

What a lovely card to have, I wonder what the seeds are, you'll have to let us know when they flower :)

No worries, Hywel! I'll keep everyone up to date! I had to water the tray again today it had become quite dry & as the seeds have only a light covering of compost, (you should have seen her telling me off because I tried to put more compost over them than she though they should have! 🤣), I hope being dry for 1 day doesn't stop them from germinating or she will be very upset!

That's a novel idea and I shall look forward to seeing your photos of the seedlings ... :o)

The black specks you can see if you make the photo bigger we think are the seeds. We should know in a few days.
