Woot! Eggshell Garden!

Posted by Aderia , Jun 25 2012 · 81 views

I've been running a week long project, in case you were wondering. I made an Eggshell Garden! Three, to be exact. And I decided it would make a more interesting blog entry than some of my others out there.

Day 1 (June 18^th)

Got seeds at a wedding where I catered
Tapped off the tops of 3 eggshells with a knife, made scrambled eggs for my dinner (I wasn’t hungry by the time they were done, so I gave them to my dog)
Went outside and dug around in my garage for some potting soil
Potting-soiled the now-empty egg shells
Sprinkled in the seeds
Put a thin layer of dirt over said seeds
Put a worm in the left-most eggshell just for the heck of it. He’s a tiny guy.
Watered seeds
Took pics like a boss (1)(2)

Day 2 (June 19^th)

Woke up and promptly forgot to water my seeds
Watering didn’t happen until 3 PM in the afternoon
Documented their (miniscule) progress with the camera (1)(2)

Day 3 (June 20^th)

Knocked them off the window sill while raising the blinds. That was bad.
Rescued them, it’s all good now
Took pics (1)(2)

Day 4 (June 21^st)

Took pics, then took a nap
Otherwise uneventful (1)(2)

Day 5 (June 22^nd)

Forgot to water them again, so that didn’t happen until like supper time
Took pics like the paparazzi (1)(2)

Day 6 (June 23^rd)

Had to change the batteries in my camera, blaargh. Took forever to find ones that worked. I had to steal them from the wii-mote. (1)(2) *annoying timestamps are annoying*

Day7 (June 24^th)

I uploaded the last pics to my gallery, which took a nice chunk of time out of my Sunday morning. While that was happening, I watered my plants, and finished documenting.
I’ll try and post again when the wildflowers are actually flowering. A transplant may be needed in the near future, they’re getting so big. (1)(2)

That's awesome. Growing things from seeds is pretty fun. Maybe if I'd planted my snap dragon seeds in eggshells, they'd actually be growing now. XD (I just need to move the pot back inside.) Can't wait to see your wildflowers.
