I have a black thumb.
This past year I've already killed four plants. Sad, right? Apparently plants come to our apartment healthy and alive, and leave in garbage bags.
That's why I had basically given up on the idea of having any plant life in our apartment. But when I heard about Miracle-Gro's The Gro Project, I felt inspired to pick up my trowel and try again.
Here are my two small planting projects: Grass Egg Heads and Grass Stocking Heads (which remind me of Chia pets)
Materials:
- Miracle-Gro's Moisture Control Potting Mix
- Grass seeds
- Eggs
- Knife
- Safety Pin
- Googly eyes
- Permanent marker
- Glue
- Nude stockings
- Scissors
- Spoon
- Cup
Directions for making grass egg heads:
1. Using a safety pin, I poked a couple of holes (spaced far apart) in the bottom of my egg head. (I'm hoping these holes will allow excess water to drain out.) Using a knife, I gently tapped the egg where I wanted it to crack open. (This gave me a neater break.) Then, I poured out the egg's insides.
2. I rinsed out the eggs and set them to dry.
3. Once they dried, I glued on googly eyes and used permanent marker to draw a smile. (Permanent markers won't wash away with water.)
4. Chuck and I filled the egg heads with grass seeds and soil. Then, we watered the eggs and set them out near a sunny window.
Directions for making grass stocking heads:
1. I wrapped a stocking around a small cup to make it easier to fill.
2. Chuck scooped a bunch of grass seeds into the stocking. Then, we piled on the dirt.
3. Once the stocking was stuffed to our liking, I tied it closed and trimmed the excess material.
4. I glued on googly eyes and drew on a mouth using permanent marker.
5. Chuck watered the grass stocking head and we also placed it on a sunny windowsill.
Cross your fingers for us, ok? The potting soil that we chose is supposed to protect our seeds from over watering and under watering. I'm really hoping that we'll see lots of grass sprouting so we can give them hair cuts. (Hrrm.. a mowhawk perhaps?)
**Update- Guess what? They grew! We just spritzed the little egg heads and thoroughly soaked the stocking heads in water daily. Here's what they looked like after 2 weeks.
If you're interested in turning your thumb a bit greener, you can check out Miracle-Gro's Pinterest page for more fun garden projects.
