Day 260: Seed Watch

The grass seed I planted less than a week ago is starting to do its thing.  I've been checking on a daily basis, and suddenly here they are - tiny green sprouts, bold against the damp earth.  Sunshine-and-showers has become my favourite weather forecast.  Pigeons are on my black list (keen seed-snackers).  As are cats (soil-disturbing shit-distributors). 

It is disproportionately exciting.  There are simple steps for success, but also an element of luck (weather) and danger (pigeon/cat peril). 

I may have to do more of this seed/sower business.  Today, grass.  Tomorrow - who knows?  A cress flannel?
