The biggest mistake people make when planting seeds is to plant them too deep, whereupon they rot.
“Life is a process of planting seeds for the future. This is how Adam got his name. For the virtue of earth is found in the plants that grow out of it and in their seeds. From these seeds will come more plants and more seeds and then more plants and seeds, and on and on. So, too, a human being, whose seeds are thoughts and actions from which new thoughts and actions will sprout forth, from one generation to the next, without end.
The above simile, likening human beings to earth, and their thoughts and actions to seeds, was written in the early years of the 20th century by Yaakov Moshe Harlap, a Jerusalem rabbi. But now, what if our thoughts and actions were centered around planting actual seeds? What then?Sometimes I have this thought: If every person on earth were to plant a few seeds each day, world peace would soon prevail. I simply cannot imagine that people who regularly plant seeds would want to engage in violence.
The process is miraculous, after all. Some seeds are so small that you could fit many of them on the head of a pin. Consider that 250,000 petunia seeds weigh one ounce or that 11,000 tomato seeds, gigantic by comparison, weigh the same. So from these tiny bits of protoplasm grow waves of flowers or bushels of fruit.
Unfortunately, some seeds are so small that they are not easy to plant. This problem has been solved in two ways: seed pelleting and seed tape. Pelleted seeds are covered with inert clay and dyed in a light color so they are easily seen and spaced when planting. In addition, they are universally spherical in form which eases handling. When it comes to vegetables, carrot, lettuce, and onion seeds are commonly pelleted, but pelleted beet, parsnip, and celery seeds are also available.
A new trend in seed pelleting fuses different varieties of the same flower or combines different flowers together in a larger pellet. When such pelleted seed combos germinate together in a container, the effect is dazzling. So-called fuseables include single pellets that contain pink, magenta, and purple petunia seeds, together with a pink bacopa seed or lime green and chocolate brown coleus seeds in the same pellet or yellow viola and orange pansy seeds together.
