- Screw an eyehook into lid of a clear plastic spice bottle.
- Loop a string (long enough to wear around your neck), through the eye.
- Place three moistened cotton balls into the bottle with a lima bean seed.
- Place the seed in an area where you are able to see it through the bottle.
- Put the lid back on the bottle and wear it around your neck.
- Care for it, talk to it, keep it moist and watch it grow!
- Once it has sprouted, plant it into your garden.
Thanks Cheryl, for this great idea :)
