A Chance To Be a Plant

A Different Seedling

Bird seed?

In Spring it begins, the waiting to see what bulbs haven't been dug up by a squirrel or skunk. This year, a surprise appears early in a seedling tray as a leaf that doesn't match any seed I sowed. It isn't a bulb. The seed is roundish.

On the table where the trays are, I sometimes scoop out the bird seed from the bag. I suspect the seed bounced into a tray. I transplanted it into a frosting container. It deserves a chance to be the plant it was meant to be.

The Others

Have you taken the chance to be who you are meant to be?

    It reminds me of a type of thick bladed grass the grew in a planter last summer. It had a cluster of seeds at the top.
    So far, it is taking the transplanting well.

    After some research online, I suspect the plant is milett.

  14. Becki,
    I have the feeling it will add height to a flower planter.

  15. I was going to suggest millet if it came from birdseed and I see you've already discovered that possibility.

  16. Maryanne,
    Yes, millet is likely the plant. I remember last summer leaving a similat one to grow. It turned out to be millet. Strang though, birds didn't bothered with the seeds it produced.
