Easter Egg Gifts

     Here is an adorable little gift you can make that costs almost nothing!  I saw it on the cover of Starting From Seed and couldn't resist. I am going to give it to my family for a little Easter present.  These are Zinnia plants, so hopefully they will bring beautiful flowers! The recipient can crush the shell a bit and put it in the ground.  Done!

    Simply take a few eggs and poke a hole in the bottom. This is so water can flow out and not flood the seeds.  I used a metal barbecue skewer and tapped until a hole broke through.  
    Then hold the egg over a dish and tap with a knife along the top the basically cut the top off.  Plop the egg in your dish and rinse out the shell and set it to dry.  Eat the eggs of course.

    Find something to put the eggs shells where they won't rock around.  FIll each egg about 3/4 of the way full of dirt.  Put three seeds in each to ensure that at least one grows.  If they all grow you may have to remove some. Water and wait! Soon you will have adorable sprouts.  
      I am hoping they will continue to grow until Easter.  I am watering them every few days and setting them outside here and there.  Mostly they are sitting on the window sill in the basement looking cute! Have fun.
