There are tiny two-prong slivers of green rising from the dark peat in some of my dat cups. Having been planted the week of Christmas, I could naturally hear them whispering to each other through their tiny peat pots, "Sure is dark in here. Where am I?"
They were joined by a soft chorus of other, nearby dat seeds sprouting, but not yet above the soil, saying,"Yep, sure is dark in here. Are we in Alaska?" I had no idea that dat seeds knew anything about geography.
Now that some have emerged into the air above their tiny peat pots, some are asking, "What the hell is that foggy piece of plastic above our heads" and "Just how many of us are in here, big guy?" I whispered that the plastic holds in the moisture while they are growing and then asked them how they knew about human gender differences.
Unfortunately, they ignored the question, and only for the moment, I thought, as they again said,"Now, lets get serious, how many of us are captured in this box?" I explained to them that they are not captured prisoners, but are instead in this box with 72 peat pots, so they could grow and grow roots, and then be planted in a nice little styrofoam cup as they got bigger.
I was pleased that I had their attention, but I had not been prepared for intellectual questions, like "How long do we stay in this little thing before we are transported to styrofoam" and "Are we gonna get any natural light?"
I was embarrassed that I didn't know the answer to their questions, and told them that I would have to seek the advice of friends. They asked how long it would take for me to ask for the advice, and I told them that I would go right now and ask y'all. I've only been away from them about 4 minutes, and they are already griping, "Hurry up, will ya?" I suppose that I should expect impatience from newborns, and of course it reminded me of the young days of each of my children.
I didn't tell them this, but they have some cousins planted in styrofoam cups, but that they have not gotten their two tiny green ears over the top of soil yet. They are all in a large tub with wheels that can be wheeled outside on warm days. Should they all be taken outdoors on warm days to bask in natural light? Inside they are in the kitchen with only flourescent lights that are 12 feet above their ears.
Being such young children and impatient, as little babies tend to be, I would like to be able to tell them something in a couple of days. So naturally, all the advice you can give me will be appreciated. I had no idea that baby dats could be so grouchy.
