Really love the analogy of seeds sprouting early or late and wondering what the garden will look like in spring. I have some figurative seeds in the soil now and was getting anxious about how and when they will germinate and how the garden will turn out. Your post reminds me of what I had recently worked out for myself: just focus on the planting for now and trust the process to produce a lovely garden in the future. Exactly how that garden will look is not known but I do know it will be beautiful.

I can't wait to see what your figurative seeds will do, too! (spiritual doula???)

And it might be cheesy, but nature has so many amazing metaphors and ways of teaching us!

I don’t have a solid answer, but hopefully it’s just a few seeds that jumped the gun and you’ll still have some that overwinter. It’s possible you just got the right mix of moisture and sun for germination!

Love the metaphor and relate to all that 5 curiosity and brain activity 😂

Haha I went back out yesterday to give it a closer look and it definitely looks like... well, probably most of the seeds have begun to sprout! I'm curious what they'll do, but also realized that on the upside, those seeds are a solid purchase if I want to try again in the spring 😂

Yeah!! high five to my fellow curious 5! :)
