#66 Growing An Eggling Garden

An Eggling looks like an extra large egg, it is hand made from white porous ceramic so it feels like one too!
It sits in a little terracotta tray & seeds are pre sewn into it's fortified peat mixture, all you have to do is tap it's top with a spoon to crack it open, water it & place it somewhere sunny!
There are ten different varieties including three herbs (basil, mint & thyme), three flowers (chrysanthemum, phlox, petunia) & four special edition plants (lavender, cactus, red pepper & wild strawberry).


  


What a super cute way for children to be introduced to gardening & it doesn't hurt that they are also pretty easy on the eye!

Who knows, maybe I will even have another go at keeping a plant alive ...

#46 Animal Facts

Did you know that a group of apes is called a 'shrewdness'?

 

Me neither.

How about that a group of bees can be called not only a swarm or a'hive but also a grist, a drift or a bike?
That a flock of birds can, among other things, also be called a dissimulation & a herd of buffalo or bison can also be called an obstinacy?
While you might know that a male donkey is called a jack or a jackass, did you know that a female donkey is called a jennet or a jenny or that a male turkey is a tom?
Or that a baby grasshopper is called a nymph & a lamb can also be called a cosset?

Me neither!!!
We're enjoying this enlightening 'enchanted learning' spreadsheet at our house. Can you tell?
