It Begins

Post by Istari »

My Seeds finally arived!!! :D

I couldn't wait to get them started! so I thought id do a progression on bringing them into the world :)

The seeds themselves arent very big, around half the size of a corn kernal. A beautiful dark grey with black spot on the tip.

So to kick them off, what better then a glass of hot water to give them a good soaking before I plant them.

Thats all ive done so far and I keep looking at them with a smile on my face :) i'll plant them tomorrow and then... waiting... and then after that anouce my success or complain about my failure. Either way im sure you'll be hearing from me.

Cheers,
Isty.

I just couldnt contain my excitement :) I ran in and woke up my fiance to tell her the good news! she was happy but i wont say as happy as me :)

I couldnt help myself from taking a closer look (to repot it as id rather give it better care now)

So now its repotted its back to the waiting game and time to nurture it into what it could become. I'll keep this updated as much as i remember to :)
