Mimi was a gem and sent me these Chinese Forget-Me-Nots in my basket from a swap we participated in and I had to plant them! I just didnt know where to start cause lets face it, I cant keep a houseplant alive for the life of me. 
On a recent outing to Walmart we were strolling along and I said to myself "HEY!!" Thats exactly what I need to get these babies growin. Little did I know that it would be so easy when I turned the box over to read the directions. For $6.00 i couldnt go wrong.....right???? So with that I came home and I think read the directions another hundred times and decided that I would start them the next morning while everyone was still in bed. It was the first thing that I thought of when I woke so I bolted downstairs, started the coffee pot and let the dog out. I read the directions oh another 20 times and took a deep breath and started. Let me just say that this was SOOOOOOOOOO easy. I used every little seed that there was planting 3 in each pod. I put the cover on and said a little prayer for the seedlings to grow strong. I checked the next day, nuthin, day after that, nuthin. It went on like this for about 5 days and just when I thought that I should just give up on my "Green Thumb"...........

Look what I woke to on like day 6!!!!!!! There budding!!!!!! They are sooooo tiny and cute, and I am just a giddy girl!!! I actually did it!!!!! Today I checked and there are even more budding! Starting tomorrow they will be placed outside in some Sunshine and then I will bring them in at night so they dont get to cold in our cool Minnesota evenings. I loved doing this and I will definatly post updates on how they are doing. I actually think I can do this now!!!!!!
Oh HOORAY!!!!! I am so glad that those little seeds are a grow'n. I can't wait to see them in full bloom :) Each time you look at those little buds you can remember the fun we had with this swap and hopefully you will "FORGET ME NOT"
