All Things Grow With Love, right?

"A watched kettle never boils"...that is what they say, right? I keep looking in the cans to see if anything sprouted yet. It hasn't even been a week. Should've started these ages ago, but..oh well, I started them now. I had some tin cans so I just turned them over and poked some holes in the bottom....Actually, it was such a pain to try and hammer a nail through the bottom, then I ditched that and used the can opener to make holes in the bottom..just like when you open a can of apple juice, only I made 6 or so. I put the tin lid in the bottom so the dirt wouldn't fall through the holes in the bottom. I put some smashed up pieces of a terra cotta pot in the bottom of the can. I read that the terra cotta absorbs the water and retains in and it helps keep the soil damp so it doesn't dry out as quickly as it normally would. I just bought a few terra cotta pots in a stack at Value Village for .99. I put the pot in a gift bag that I had, help the opening closed and smashed the outside of the bag. When you smash inside of the bag, you don't have to worry about little pieces flying all over the place. I put a few pieces of terra cotta in each tin can and then filled them with soil, planted the seeds..blah,blah,blah. Anyway, if I had a "do over", I would have done the labels before I put the dirt in. I was just going to leave them plain and then decided I would label them. I found some free label templates online and printed some out. The template was actually too small so I printed a smaller one and enlarged it on my photocopier. I sprayed the labels with modge podge sealer so the ink wouldn't run, when that was dry I put a layer or homemade modge podge on with a paint brush (just mix half white school glue and have water & stir), then a regular spray sealer over that. It is one from Michael's that seals crafts etc.  Truth: I was out of glue, just did the first step, used my hot glue gun to glue the label on and then sprayed with sealer...later went to 3 different places looking for plain old white glue....Michael's was the third place I went and I bought some there. I put a coat of that on over the sealer...good grief!!! I really should do this again, but do it the proper way. They are going to look so much better when they have food sprouting inside of them.
