Go Green on Paddy’s Day
St Patrick’s day came and went in my world without much recognition but this year we will see how St Patrick’s day can be celebrated in a small and healthful way on this great big island of Africa.
The original reason for celebrating Paddy’s day is to commemorate the feast day of St Patrick who was a Christian missionary and who was later made the patron saint of Ireland. Today however it has become a colourful and lively joyous celebration marked by musical performers, floats in all the countries where the Irish have made their mark including, the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Argentina, Uruguay, New Zealand, and South Africa.
If you would like your friends to be Green with envy this St Patricks day then get going on growing some micro-greens. With the versatile Hemp Sprout Bag you can grow anything from smallest alfalfa sprouts to large sprouts and micro-greens. You won’t need the luck of the Irish when you have a Hemp Sprout Bag. I placed some mung beans and clover seed into the Hemp Sprout Bag just 18 hours ago and already they are celebrating St Patrick’s day!
The clover is used as the Celtic tradition of honouring “3’s” has been around in Ireland for millennia.
Here are some things in life that come in three’s
3 leaf clovers
faith, hope and charity
past present and future
land sea and sky
the religious trinity and then there are So many things that are represented by 3’s like
3 cheers
3 blind mice
3 is a crowd
3 R’s
3 Muskateers
There are just so many of these 3’s See how many more you can think of.
Getting back to the Hemp Sprout Bag, remember that at the end of the rainbow of your Hemp Sprout Bag you will find your pot of green gold. Your family will be going through the sprouts and greens so fast that you might think that the tokoloshe are helping you to eat them but today, “to be sure, to be sure” you can blame the leprechaun. On St Patrick’s day, if you are sprouting clover be sure to look for a four-leafed clover and perhaps this year to celebrate Paddy’s Day swop your Guinness for a Green Smoothie.
Happy St Patricks Day!
