hey melissa,

i have read the first two books. i am trying her gardening method this summer. i have already done

“before planting, put into your mouth one or more little seeds, hold them in your mouth, under the tongue, for at least nine minutes.



“then place the seed between the palms of your hands and hold it there for about thirty seconds. during this time it is important that you be standing barefoot on the spot of earth where you will later be planting it.



“open your hands, and carefully raise the seed which you are holding to your mouth. then blow on it lightly, warming it with your breath, and the wee little seed will know everything that is within you.



“then you need to hold it with your hands open another thirty seconds, presenting the seed to the celestial bodies. and the seed will determine the moment of its awakening. the planets will all help it! and will give the sprouts the light they need to produce fruit especially for you.



“after that you may plant the seed in the ground. in no case should you water it right off, so as not to wash away the saliva which is now covering it, along with other information about you that the seed will take in. it can be watered three days after planting.
this with some lovely heirloom tomato seeds from [specific place]. i haven't planted them in the ground yet so i haven't been able to do the process exactly as she stated but hopefully it will work anyways.

i plan to do the same with a bunch of other seeds.

i have always talked to my plants but this seems to take it that step further.

take care,

megan
