Carrots for Mental Health
Recently, my son had a bout with depression and anxiety. While we spent many hours with professionals, I thought of something we could do at home to take his mind off of things. I had him plant a mental health plant.
To do this, I showed him our collection of vegetable seeds and let him pick one. He picked carrots.
Taking a red solo cup and poking holes in the bottom, we filled it up with mix and he put the seeds in. He's been taking very good care and watering it every three days. Now it's time to transplant.
The picture above shows the plants ready to go, with a beer-bottle filled with a B1 mix to prevent transplant shock.
Now in the whiskey barrel, we'll see how these carrots do.
