Tomorrow is the last class of the My First Plant course. The plants are not ready to harvest yet, there are still some green pods. I am disappointed, because I wanted to show the students how to harvest seeds from the entire plant. However, another concept has been harvested from this project, patience. Also, while I was looking for the last pod that will turn brown before I can harvest the seeds; I found this… a flower! I never expected it. Here the plant is in senesces; much of it is dried up and dead, with many seed pods ready to harvest. I was just waiting for the plant to finish dying so finish the course and what to I find? A flower! My conclusion is … life will be productive to the very end and does not fit easily into our schedule. I see this characteristic in us. At any point in our life cycle, we instinctively strive to be creative and productive to the very end. I plant to continue the blog till the seeds are harvested.
