The Vernal Equinox

The clay protects the seeds until enough rain has fallen to slowly break down the clay until the seeds are released. Then the potting compost gives them a head start until their roots grow into the surrounding soil. They may sprout within a few weeks, or wait more than a year until the conditions (temperature and rainfall) are just right for growth to begin.

You can buy ready-made seed bombs from gardening stores, but the bears think it is much more fun to make your own! Enjoy!
