Gardening fun!


Hearts! These are grandpa Otts (morning glory's)


Hello everyone! I just wanted to update everyone. I'm alive and well. So, moving on! I have been really into gardening for the last couple of months and I found a really cute project that me and my niece did together. She loves to participate and I thought I would write my own tutorial for all my friends to try out on their own or with their kids.


Water bottle Bio-dome! 

STEP 1: Get water bottle!





STEP 2: Cut the label.




STEP 3: Cut the bottle in half.





STEP 4: Get your dirt! 





STEP 5: Fill it up about an inch to two inches.




STEP 6: Get your seed or cutting.




STEP 7: Make a hole with a chopstick or some other stick you can find. (Yeah, that's the end of my make-up brush.)




STEP 8: Insert your cutting or seed. If its a seed read on the instructions how deep it needs to be. Some seeds only need to sit on top. Cover your cutting with the dirt to where it's standing up.




STEP 9: Get your top half and put it on top of your bottom half.





STEP 10: Take the bottle cap off (lol)




STEP 11: Spritz it with water. About a table spoon per inch. 




STEP 12: Put the cap back on! You are done! Put your new Bio-dome on a window that gets some sun during the day. If for some reason it looks dry (if you don't see any water droplets) just open the cap and spray it again. Once your seedling gets bigger you can then move it to a different pot.






STEP 13: Don't forget to label it!! 

Yep, That's Chocolate Mint.

I would love to see pictures if anyone tries this.

What I've learned: 

Things will just come to you sometimes. I woke up one day and decided to go to get gardening supplies. Don't know why, don't know how. I love it though!
