my sprouting project and collecting spring water

at LL, we had an opportunity to do some sprouting in a big glass jar but somehow the experience did not seem to register in my mind very well.

here at 105, we each had a mini sprouting project and mine was to do a spicy salad sprout.



so we each had a sprouting tray and fill it with compost from a big sack of compost. of course i used a glove!



when i was at LL, taking care of the sprouts seem like such a big responsibility, especially to those who had the experience with the soil grown wheatgrass.

for some strange reason, this was pretty easy... i wonder why?



so after a couple of days of watering and my babies are sprouting! :-)




did i mention that we even had a day out collecting spring water? it was fun. drinking spring water directly from the source is an experience. well, it was cold and very refreshing but i certainly didnt expect it to be coming out of a pipe!




it was a nice experience, especially for someone so used to just buying bottles of mineral water. so now, instead of buying mineral water, i can just fill up my water bottle!
