We kicked off Gardening week by planting some flowers! My Little was VERY excited about this activity! I decided to use platic cups as planters since we already had them on hand. I used a scissors to cut 5-6 slits in the bottom edges of the cups to allow for drainage of water. I then filled cups about 2/3 to 3/4 full with potting soil and followed the package directions. Then we were ready for seeds!
We picked two random seed packets of mixed flowers whose germination period is 5-10 days in hopes we will see something possibly by the end of this week already!
I split the two packets up into six different cups (three cups for each packet) to allow more room for the plants to grow. We also labeled the cups with #1 and #2 so we know which seed packet's flowers are coming up!
Lastly, we placed the cups in a pan for easy transfer in and out of the house since it still gets a little too chilly at night outside.
