Paperwhites Update

Well... Its amazing what a week can do! Last week I purchsed a do-it-yourself planting kid for paperwhites. Well here is what happened after a week in the closet...

They are so big! I love it! Nature rocks! Well I went back to the store that I purchsed these at and got a few more plants... for an even better deal! Woo Hoo! Here they are...

The best part about these are ... if I do it right they will be in bloom for Valentines day! I hope so! They will be so pretty... and I will be able to give them as a gift!

Stay tuned next week for another update on how these flowers are growin!

In The Garden

Now, if any of you are aware... Sunday here in Northern Michigan the temperature was a bone chilling -25 out side! YIKES! Well that didnt stop me from wanting a nice eco-friendly centerpiece for Easter. EASTER!? What? Its only January! I know I know, but these things take time.

While walking through the local convenient store today I found these boxes of paperwhites. Better yet... they were on SALE! Score! I picked up two boxes of this do it yourself planting kit. Tonight the kids and I put them together.

Now we wait! They have to sit in a cold dark place for two weeks so that they establish roots. Then we get to bring them out and let them grow! The box says they should be in full bloom within 3-6 weeks! I will be posting photos of the progress!
