We planted our balloon gardens the day before yesterday. The kids each picked a different sort of seed even though the instructions said to use peas (which I’m sure would grow big quickly). The germination rate is supposed to be around 7 days, so hopefully we’ll see something in about a week.
We did find out that a little bit of dirt doesn’t go far once the balloons are blown up! Hopefully the seeds won’t mind and will at least do something.
Warning: small boys cannot resist bopping these. 🙂
I’ll let you know if anything happens!
I’m so glad you’re blogging!
I just linked over here from the newsletter. I just want to say that I’ve wished numerous times that you would blog, because I would love to have a daily dose of your humor and creativity! Thanks so much for sharing what you do.
By the way, I’m a redhead with four kids too.
