If you are here, maybe it is because you have found a pod. That is good!
The pod is in fact a hand crafted paper seed pod. The seed will reveal itself if the pod is planted in soil and cared for like any small plant. It would be best if the soil is kept moist. As the paper aids in germination, it will slowly decompose leaving the pant to grow.
Whatever variety of pod has landed in your hands, it will be either an edible herb or flower, as the pods are all about food and location in relation to the calorie consumer.
As a nurturer of a pod, it would be wonderful if you could share the story of how you discovered or acquired the pod by posting a comment here! It would be excellent if you were so curious, that you would also share comments on the progress it makes. Thank you!
Today is the day that the pods have officially gone public, April 1st, 2009. The pods are now in public circulation for thought provoking and conversation stimulating excitement. Leave a comment if you are delighted about yours!

Thank you! The seed is in water soon to be revealed and planted. Excellent idea!
Comment by nglauser April 3, 2009 @ 1:09 pmMy pod came to me in the mail, a small, soft earthy envelop with a curious bump. The address was typed in ,looking like an old fashioned typewriter, the one I used to learn to type on in a previous age and stage of communication. The address was personal(if I said what it was, it would give it away!)- suffice it to say it was touching and I felt special.

Just lovely…have planted mine in White Rock and am looking forward to seeing what grows. My garden mixes herbs and flowers so it will feel right at home, regardless of its identity.
Comment by Debbie April 9, 2009 @ 7:49 amWe were so delighted to receive our pod in the mail. Of course it took a little longer to get up to the great white north than to other places down south. We are so excited to plant our little pod and add some greeness to our white world! Thank you so much for thinking of us!
