"The day I see a leaf is a marvel of a day." Kenneth Patton
As I arrived at JWT, I was ready to let people know that I was going to move the greenhouse. I didn't want to leave it there if nothing was growing. I couldn't find the manager so decided to go and check on the plant pots one last time with my camera. As much as I was doubting the progress of the installation, I still had hope. Maybe it was just taking longer than I thought because the paper that the seeds was embedded in needed to decompose to release them...? I was not sure.

I was not sure.As I unzipped the door and walked into the greenhouse I noticed a change... In about 30 of the 60 pots, there were tiny seedlings. The Metgros had sprouted!
Thank goodness for that! I was elated! All my hard work was paying off! All they needed was time. It was interesting that I had nearly given up... I should have had more faith in my work, but it is difficult when you are waiting for something which you cannot control. The seeds might not have sprouted for any number of reasons which I would never really understand.
Perhaps I too am now so used to the city way of life; this instant, convenient way of living where I can order anything that I need quickly, that I was not prepared to wait for Nature to take its course.
To quote Frank Lloyd Wright, a 20th Centrury architect who was coined "the greatest American architect of all time" by the American Institute of Architects and who famously promoted organically inspired architectural design;

It will never fail you."
