The proceed from the sale of chaplets and rosaries made with mission parts (plastic crucifix)
will be used towards buying mission material so that people who cannot afford a roasry will be able to get one free of charge
Job's Tears are very easy to grow! The only hard part is trying to find the seeds and waiting for
them to sprout! Seeds may be bought from me, whenever I have stock, or from nurseries. I must caution you, seeds from bead
companies normally do not germinate; these seeds have probably been in storage too long, or have been altered (natural hole
enlarged, cloloured, etc.) and the embryo inside might have been killed.
Growing Job's Tears is extremely easy. Just soak the seeds in water for 24 to 48 hours and sow them in your garden. Water
the seeds when you water all your other plants. They should sprout in about two weeks, be sure you don't take too good care
offthem. I nursed my seedlings too much and as a result, I killed them. The seedlings will look like a fat blade of grass.
In about a month or so, they will have grown about six inches and should have sprouted more leaves. you may or may not
stake them for support as they grow taller. Seeds are ready to be harvested when they turn gray. Allow them to dry for
about a week and store the seeds in a paper envelope to allow good air circulation to your seeds.
Seed may be obtained from me for either planting or stringing. Seeds used for the latter have been drilled with a 1/16"
drill bit.
Planting seeds are $0.10 each 12/$1.00
Drilled seeds are $0.15 each or 12/$1.50
Enough seeds for one roasry is $7.25 (including one extra seed)
