Life will always try.
Yesterday,
I opened a completely closed bucket of topsoil I had set aside in my garage a
few weeks ago and discovered that a seed of some sort had germinated and
started to grow inside.
The
soil is from a local nursery and is of uncertain origin. The plant start
potentially looks like it might be a Russian thistle, but it could also be some
sort of evergreen. After indelicately unearthing the poor thing, I actually
felt a little guilty.
The
plant was trying its best. The least I could do was give it a chance. With
that, I gathered up the skinny little thing, poked it into some soil in a cup,
and gave it a dash of water. Hopefully, I can successfully save and nurture the
plant so I might one day identify it and share a photograph of it alongside a
Cold Smoke beer.
