I have no luck with plants My thumbs are never green Whenever I plant little seeds - Again - they're never seen!

A friend sent me some seeds From Ferris, Texas-way - The little seeds the pack contained? BlueBonnets! - Happy Day!

I had to try my best, Determined to succeed- I opened up the little pack And counted out 10 seeds.

Into a big clay pot Some potting soil I placed And planted every tiny seed - With water, amply laced.

The days turned into weeks And suddenly appeared Four little pale-green baby shoots For them I was afeared!

The weather got so warm I put them on the porch With half and half of sun and shade I knew they wouldn't scorch.

Weeks and weeks went by The shoots got big and strong I planted them into the ground - But thought, 'they'll not last long.'

BUT

Today, lo, and behold - A BlueBonnet I spied!! I was so glad to see it there I sat right down and cried *.*

The thing that I have learned From this planting test? Just take your time, and keep the faith . . . And Nature does the rest!!
