But now he could see the beginnings of the feathery leaves he’d seen at the supermarket and he let himself believe in this one small miracle.

“This is amazing, Iris.” “You never know until you try, right? Dr. Hull called this cute sprouts Vivipary in Latin. It means live birth.” “I wish I’m good at something like you. Teaching history isn’t anything useful anymore. What you do is fulfilling.” She sat beside me, in front of around thirty sprouts. “Yes, it is. Don’t worry you can teach again, Lois.” “I hope so.

Primrose's eyes widened from eating her favorite food, but thinking about the previous episode made her not satisfied, so she quickly pouted in disapproval. "Not sweet, too sour. Where did you buy strawberries?"

Mia said she wanted to grow strawberries. So I took her shopping for soil, seedlings, and a little shovel. The day the first strawberry turned red, she came running to me with it cupped in her hands. "Mommy, look!" I bit off half. She ate the other. It was so sour her whole face scrunched up. But she still grinned. "The ones we grow ourselves are the best." I smiled too. "Yeah, the best." My phone lit up. Nathan had sent a photo.

As they got closer, they realized Joli was holding a small hoe and digging in the soil. He explained as he dug, "Although strawberries aren't particularly picky about soil, the best option is fertile, loose, sandy soil with good drainage and a pH between 5.5 to 6.5.

asked Olivia. "Come on, let's go to the greenhouse," Zayden invited. "Greenhouse?" Only when Zayden took her to the greenhouse, where strawberries grow, could Olivia follow him.
