i bought a $1 mini grow-your-own flower pot kit of forget-me-nots a couple weeks ago. it came with this little pattie of soil that magically grows when you pour a couple tablespoons of water in the pot...it seriously was fascinating to watch. brie and i just stared at it for like three minutes straight as the dirt bubbled and expanded. anyways, so the directions said to put a maximum of ten seeds in the soil (i think this is because the roots would get tangled if there are any more than that)...but, since i had a great lack of faith in my flower growing abilities, i dumped probably close to twenty in.
i think this may have been a poor decision.
with great joy, i awoke yesterday morning to find fifteen little sprouts reaching towards the window. they were so fresh and green, i made brie get off the couch and come look. i was so proud.
good news: they look healthy. bad news: i hope they don't all kill each other as they take over the pot.
i'm going to need a babysitter for this plant over break (march 4-14) to mediate any possible quarreling, any takers?
