A project for a rainy day
Yes, April showers bring May flowers. But May showers just bring you…indoors. If you find yourself and your kids stuck inside on a rainy day this May, a DIY project is just what you need.
Fitness magazine included directions for a simple how-to project in their last issue that you and the kids could enjoy. Make your own egg-carton herb graden and watch the good times grow.
What you’ll need:
- an empty egg carton with a few small drainage holes punched in the bottom of each well
- different herb packets like basil chives dill thyme oregano and sage
- potting soil
- popsicle sticks
- plastic wrap
What you’ll do:
- Read instructions on packs-some seeds need to be soaked before planting.
- Spoon potting mix into wells and plant seeds at depth required for each herb. Sprinkle with water.
- Write the name of each herb on a popsicle stick and place in backs of wells.
- Cover carton tightly with plastic wrap and set on a warm sunny windowsill.
- When herbs sprout, remove plastic wrap, and water every few days. Move to larger pots as necessary.
