Project Wildflower - Step One

Find a pot that fits - and a place where it will not get direct sunlight.

Charlie and I headed out to our shed in jammies and flip-flops to find a container that would be the right size.

We sprayed off the pot, which is actually the bottom of a huge planter. When I rubbed some chunks of dirt with the tips of my fingers Charlie said, "Gross Mom! Why on earth would you do that?"

I turned to him and said, "What, YOU'VE never gotten dirty?"

The next step is to soak the paper in some water, which I suppose means another container - good thing we brought two in...
