Do you?
Reading Mother's blog yesterday and how she talked of wanting to get her hands in the dirt made me want to share the 'recipe' below. I always leave my decorations up until Epiphany but when they come down I immediately start thinking of my garden and my green thumb starts throbbing. Here is something for your winter days. You can watch it. You can talk to it. It can be your friend. When the soil is warm, you can release it.
Mini Greenhouse Recipe
1 ziploc bag, any size
1 cup of potting soil
a few seeds of your choice
1 tablespoon of water
a sunny window
Unzip your bag. Carefully pour in your cupful of soil. Try not to spill, boys and girls. Press a few seeds down into the soil. Add one tablespoon of water. Zip your bag up tightly. Place in sunny window. Do not open or add anymore water.
Now all you have to do is watch. Playing music for it or talking to it are optional.
When the bag is full of roots and it is warm enough outside, you can carefully transplant.
It's fun. It works.
Here springy springy springy.
