Not too shallow, not too deep ....

I'm late this year, hopefully not too late .......

A poor old Widow in her weeds
Sowed her garden with wild-flower seeds;
Not too shallow, and not too deep,
And down came April - drip - drip - drip.
Up shone May, like gold, and soon
Green as an arbour grew leafy June.
And now all summer she sits and sews
Where willow herb, comfrey, bugloss blows,
Teasle and pansy, meadowsweet,
Campion, toadflax, and rough hawksbit;
Brown bee orchis, and Peals of Bells;
Clover, burnet, and thyme she smells;
Like Oberon's meadows her garden is
Drowsy from dawn to dusk with bees.
Weeps she never, but sometimes sighs,
And peeps at her garden with bright brown eyes;
And all she has is all she needs -
A poor Old Widow in her weeds.

The largest seed in the world is the double coconut measuring up to 50cm around the middle & weighing in at 1.5kg
Some orchid seed-pods hold 3 million seeds
Arctic Lupin seeds, found in frozen soil in Canada, were grown and produced flowers - the seeds were thought to be more than 10,000 years old
Most oak trees don't grow acorns until they are at least 50 years old
Three seeds feed most of the world – rice, wheat & maize

Let's see what comes ....
