Jar Flowers

We planted wildflowers in jars today. We used antique jars from a farm in the early 1900s (we're reusing them) and filled them with soil. Then we put six tiny seeds into each jar. We were surprised at how small and different looking they all were. The seeds were in a wildflower seed mix. Some of the flowers we might be growing are black-eyed-susans, poppies, forget-me-nots, and candy tuft. After we poked in the seeds, we covered them with more soil. We pushed it down and added even more soil on top of that. We watered them. Because the soil was soooo dry, the water stayed on top of the soil or got underneath the soil and floated it. It will soak in eventually. Last, we put them in the sunshine by the window. We will keep a log of what we observe all year. Hopefully we'll have flowers all winter!
