Reiko Hamano planted Jujube seed at Miracle Garden on May 10 and her seed sprouted on May 29. The sprout is so tiny so we hope this is a healthy Jujube seedling. Click the pic to enlarge to observe the whimsical sprout. This is the first Jujube seed sprouting in Tree Project 2009. Congrats!

My sprout is, as of now, so weak and so tiny. This perhaps causes me to pay more attention to it. Seeing my sprout every morning is a bit of a caution but also a lot of anticipation for my sprout. I am now aware of this feeling that I haven't experienced in my past, or have I when I was still little." ---Reiko Hamano Pic update...
