The Why Of It

So What is the Why of It?
This growing of Wheatgrass, Sprouts, etc.
It's really simple.
I want to be available to help a friend in any way I can. My contribution is pretty minor compared to the needs...but at the end of the day...intentions are important.

What was my purpose TODAY? What did I do to make my Creator proud of the time He gives me? What matters over what doesn't matter? As my cousin Steven says, you have to ignore the noise of life that is all around you to get done what is necessary. And so I tweak this great thought to complete my OWN thought:..."to greet the purpose of your being."



So my final quote: "You have to ignore the noise of life that is all around you...to greet the purpose of your being!"

So the Why Of It is personal responsibility and my desire to show God my gratefulness for all He has done for me and given me...and to try and show him how much I appreciate His Love and give back as an offering of appreciation. A small thing really for all He's done for me!

So..... the wheatgrass berries look SO healthy.

The Official "Wheatgrass Forest, Generation IV" is the healthiest yet!. Picture is a little out of focus but they are perfect sprouts!

The roots are healthy! No mold! Every little berry looks viable and happy and clean. The sprout bags are the bomb, even though I still believe them to be a bit overpriced I will likely buy 3 more at some point. I planted 3 trays but truly I could have planted four. The seeds are really on top of each other. Partly because I was in a bit of a rush but mostly because the sprouts really POPPED last night and they were totally enmeshed. A fun live, (pulsing?) ball of sprouts to GENTLY separate! They smell very clean. No slime. No brown spots at all!

LESSON: The bags are a great way to sprout wheatgrass. I was worried that how I have originally sprouted the seeds (pre hemp bag) kept them snuggly warm for three days of sprouting and the seeds would miss this...but apparently not at all. I DID rinse those bags around 5 times each day instead of the 2 or 3 they suggested. But rinsing takes less than 1 minute!
STUDY: Will the thick planting of the seeds produce a really thick crop, or will I lose seeds to mold, crowding, etc?



And the Sprouts? My first time ever sprouting
in the bag and they are beautiful.





Again, iPhone
doesn't capture their beauty! I accidentally threw
out the instructions so I need to go back to the
store and read the directions!








I also ordered two other bags of seeds to sprout from Sproutman :
My desire is to leave my home everyday with a mid-sized cooler of food, juice, snacks to eat throughout the day. I think sprouts would be a good crunch food. We'll see!

Happy Day to all!
