April 17 - Green Shoots

Within days of our planting, we were surprised to find something actually growing (unlike the asparagus, which caused us much heartache on day 4 when it began to wilt, and we realized it had not grown naturally). These were true green shoots.

The following represents our scientifically deduced conclusions as to the nature of the shoots:

Dave: Grass

Tyler: Onion-ish

Jordan: Rutabega

By day 7, the daffodil was nearly in bloom, and we all learned how little we knew about plants.

As it turns out, it was planted by our neighbor Eric, who is indeed a great American. Bless his heart for planting the lone daffodil to brighten our homely parking lot garden.
