I had to get something green in our house. After months of snow and
cold I just craved it. The warmth it gives you, as you look at a plant
growing in your home when you look outside and see a mound of the "white
stuff".
Something about it just makes you a little happy. It does,
don't deny it! :)
Here is what you will need for your winter garden :
bulbs ( mine are tulip- left over from last year)
Glass vases ( you can find these at Goodwill or I bought mine at the Dollar Tree)
Glass marbles or rocks ( Dollar Tree) 3 bags
water
Start off by rinsing off your rocks or marbles. The shelves at the stores are dusty and lets face it, gross!
Go ahead and put a 1/4 of the rocks into the bottom of the glass vase
Then put the bulbs with the pointed side up into the jar. I put maybe 6 or 7 bulbs into the vase
Add a little water to the vase just making sure the water barely touches the roots of the bulbs
This is the view looking into the vase, I put the bulbs touching each other so they would have some support as the grew
I can't wait to see them sprout and grow! Make sure you check the water level every couple of days so the bulbs stay hydrated
Two weeks later and they look so pretty already!
From my nest to yours, enjoy!
