December 15
My little assistant. After drowning my seedlings with her milk spoon, she started to cheer up them with her self-composted songs. Helping me is the most delighting task for her every morning. However, her great curiosity still didn't lead her to touch these seedlings with her little fingers. After my encouragement and demonstration, she would only touch them for less than one second. Why? I thought kids would love to touch plants with their animal instinct. Apparently, she needs to get more close to the nature and be taught about the wonder of nature. Hope her nature deficit problem will be solved one day.
巫老大超喜歡幫忙，每天早上第一樂事就是拿著奶粉湯匙幫我菜苗沐浴，還會唱著自編歌曲幫垂頭喪氣的菜苗振奮精神。很妙的是她不是很敢用手碰菜苗。我以為孩子們都是天不怕地不怕的，看來自然缺乏症真有其事。希望有一天她也能享受到自然的奇蹟。
Lettuce seedlings started to get 4 leaves and grow to 10 cm tall.

It was too windy that some seedlings looked dry.
A spinach seedling even died.
December 17 Nursery and HT garden
Seedlings continued to fall.
18 turnip seedlings were transplanted to bigger cells.

12 Crown daisy seedlings from the dumpling package were big enough to transplant.
Seedlings had been drying for few days. I decided to move seedling trays to HT garden, where it was not so windy. Besides, dew would be helpful to keep good humidity level.

The compost continued to ferment.
A new pile of compost was covered with Alpi-na zerumbet.
My grandaunt was using Alpi-na zerumbet to make ropes down the hill.
I also collected seeds of Alpi-na zerumbet. They would be planted in my PDC garden to prevent strong wind from the northeast. Leaves are great wrapping material for rice dumpling.
6 turnip seedlings and 6 spinach seedlings were transplanted.
Seedlings seemed to get better in HT garden.
