First two seed snails were rolled this morning for slow germinators: chard, cilantro, and parsley. I put all three kinds of seeds in one roll, plus one for cilantro alone. It also grows in the garden on its own.

Great joy erupted in the fact that the left arm and hand, compromised by MS, could do it. Joy with the end product thus far, also.

I learn from doing; especially mistakes.

• mistake 1: Don’t use dark colored painter’s tape. Get light colored. Marking the snail with what’s seeded will show better on lighter colored tape.
• mistake 2: When measuring the bubble wrap, 3 and 4 inches both looked too small. Looks are deceiving! So I did 2 two 6 inch snails. They are too big for the herbs that were seeded. But that’s all right. Then, as I thought about it, I reminded myself, that a flat of starters is 2 inches tall. Therefore, the next seed snail will be 3 inches tall.

Just wanting to let you know, in case anyone is purchasing painters’ tape or getting ready to measure and cut. Happiness to you!
