As many people have experienced, recently it is very hard for us to grow plants from seeds because store bought seeds are hard to get germinated. This year one seed bank that is a nonprofit organization by Native American provided us some native seeds. My daughter has been taken care of the native seeds with her love and patience. Even though their germination rates were almost 100%, they were still hard to grow well. In our case, so far, only two chickpea plants were still alive. This morning, we replanted them to our backyard garden, next to the other bigger plants. The chickpea plants still look tiny and fragile, but I really hope they will keep growing for another 3 more weeks. Then they should be fine once we have monsoon so that they will enjoy lots of rain water.
