“She Discovered a Hidden Legacy in Her Father’s Shirt—What Happened Next Will Shock You!”
She compared using the quilts to consuming every part of a hunted animal. “Planning the cuts feels like I’m field-dressing a deer, which is ironic–Dad was a hunter.” Despite this, she continued to make the quilt.
With More Seeds, She Had One More Chance
Diez’s biggest regret was throwing away the seed she had found in one of her father’s shirts. But as she continued with the quilt, a miracle happened. She found another seed!
“I had discarded the first one and regretted not trying to sprout it,” Diez wrote in her journal. “I feel like I won the lottery finding ONE MORE seed! I’m soaking it and will try to plant it.” That’s exactly what she did.
She Worked Hard To Grow These Plants
With some research, Diez discovered that it was a tomato seed. She soaked it and brought it back to life. A few days after she put it in the soil, a tiny shoot poked through the dirt. Diez added fertilizer and continued to water it.
With some more research on growing tomatoes, Diez bought a grow light from the hardware store. She kept the tomato plant in her laundry room and tended to it every day.
It Was Brought To Life!
Within two months, it grew into an impressive plant. “I’ve been nurturing it for the past two months and it’s now four feet tall and growing tomatoes,” she recorded. “And it was in a box stuck to a shirt for 10 years.”
