How simple, yet majestic! I would like to try this. We don't have Oak trees here, but a sweet blogging friend sent me some acorns. Could you tell what you did - type of "soil"? Did you soak the nut? Do tell. Many thanks, LF
Seeing that acorn brought back so many memories for me from my childhood. When I was six I spent six months in Italy with my grandparents. To keep me busy, I was given the task of gathering acorns which were fed to the pig. Little did I know that a few months later, my friend the pig would be turned into all the tasty things that we all enjoyed. But I still love acorns and have amassed quite a collection.Thanks.
Acorns are one of my favorite things this time of year. I have never seen one germinate before. How cool. Like lady farmer asked, please do tell how you got it to do that.
Well, it's kind of an expensive recipe because you have to park a semi-junky pickup truck under an oak tree for several weeks. Allow acorn to drop into the truck bed and germinate. Then scoop it up, with decaying leaf matter, and place in a half-pot of potting soil. Place on a sunny step. Good luck with these instructions, and feel free to try some variations!
I am an evangelical Christian. I have two daughters whom I homeschool: Bella (15), and Daisy (8), and three older children: Giles (21), a college graduate, Felix (19), a college junior, and Clara (17), a college freshman. I'm 42 years old and happily married to my Dear Composer. We live in a 1920's school converted into a home, outside of town. And God is good.
Feel free to Pin my photos, but please link back to the page you found them on.
Photography
Photography is an important part of life at my house. Photos that appear here are taken by Giles, by the Composer, and by me. Giles is a real, paid photographer, and he uses a Sony Alpha. Most of the photography prior to September 2008 is his. Since then I have done most of the shooting and I use a Konica Minolta. Additionally, the Composer offers me nice shots on occasion, often from his little Canon point and shoot. I've given up trying to note who's done what. Thanks for your interest!
