晨曦露水MORNING DEW

December 20, HT Garden

植物果然還是需要露水的滋潤。育苗被搬到菜園後，就開始天生天養的日子。原來，環境越自然，照顧菜園好像就越不費力。

The dew-drops sparkling in the morning sunlight were the water of life for seedlings.

為了讓我的小幫手能夠親近植物，我買了一些帶有香氣的植物，澳洲茶樹、迷迭香和芳香萬壽菊。只要摸一下這些植物的葉子，就能夠滿手清香。還可以摘下一點迷迭香泡茶。也可以讓她觀察花的顏色。感覺質地細緻的葉子。聽聽蜜蜂振翅的聲音。或許，我可以開始研究兒童花園裡可以刺激五感的植物。

An Australian tea tree (Melaleuca Alternifolia), rosemary and Tagetes lemmonii were bought from a nursery. They would be used as sensory plants for my little assistant, my niece. This was the first step to release her fear of touching plants.

3 more celery seeds germinated in the dumpling container but were not easily transplanted due to the shallow container.

水餃盒真的太淺了，種子發了芽，稍微一拔就連跟拉起。不過，移植後倒是活得好好的。
