The Secret of Gardening ;-)

Do this only with organic seeds. The "regular" seeds have been sprayed with things to keep bugs and things from eating them.

Know where your seeds are from. <G>

... another "belief"... but hey, I spit on my seeds just the other day.
Why? Because I too read the books... haven't finished the series.

But, it makes sense that when you focus your intentions and care for
your actions, there are empirical results, as you tend to tend what has your intentions... lol...

it's still miraculous how plants burst forth from tiny seeds..
truly a marvel! I spend a couple of hrs today placing my sprouts into large containers for transplanting in a couple of weeks... these will be my nourishment...<< I will eat them<< what a concept huh???

Makes sense to me too that we are on the food chain as well... ooops, let's not go there.... lolol. How have "they" prepared our seeds???
ok, forgive me, I'm on a roll... cinnamon anyone?

I posted on this subject on the Food for Thought thread. Obviously no one read it!!

Anyway, after reading about putting seeds in your mouth before planting, my friend Fastfilly did a wee experiment. She took good seeds of silver beet. I think it is also known as Swiss chard? She held the seeds in her mouth for the nine minutes, then planted them in one half of a planter box. The other half of the box she just planted normally.

The mouth soaked seeds came up first and grew at twice the rate of the normally planted seeds. It was amazing! And a good experiment to try. Nine minutes is quite a long time. Not good when your son arrives to see you, and your mouth is stuffed with seeds and you can't talk!!!

Cheers

Sorry Carmen I havent read the other thread... I started this one as a tribute to Baggywrinkle.

After I said I was here to 'network with Ufologists, not to talk about gardening'

I thought I'd turn the tables and show that Im flexible.

Of course this would work! It makes so much sense its one of those "how come I never of it before" moments.
Very cool thanks for posting, I'm glad you are felxible.
and we just ordered 1000's of Heirloom seeds... I hope they taste good.

If they taste bad just swallow them and use the 'compost'

Please note that store-bought seeds in America and elsewhere in the 'civilized world' are often coated with rat poison for easy of storage, and you should never put them into your mouth.
Be sure to use your own seeds or procure organic seeds from a reputable producer.

THANK YOU Nagual! That is very good to know.. before we go sucking on rat poison for 9 minutes thanks for the heads up

Thanks, Naqual, I've been saying this over and over, but felt no one was listening. Organic, know your sources.

Jeese good info.
I love how they always seem to tell us they put deadly poison in our foods for our own good and for the good of the crops.

Thanks, Luminari, for the link and the info. Carmen had already mentioned this on another thread and when you think about it, it does make sense.
