Chia Madagascar Marty :: Day 8, 9, 10

Got some good looking sprouts going on now!  We still do not have a spray bottle or mister for those seeds that aren't getting water from the pottery.  I'm dripping water over those in the meantime.  Evan suggested we empty the Windex bottle and use that for spraying the water on Marty ... I had to explain that I really did not trust we would get all the chemicals outta the Windex container to use it for watering Chia Madagascar Marty.   Especially with my track record with house plants.  Tommy peed on one of the house plants which killed it within a week ... so, I'm not responsible for ALL the house plant deaths in our house :-)

Chia Madagascar Marty :: Day 4, 5, 6, 7

Chia Madagascar Marty is doing just fine!  I noticed the Chia seeds beginning to sprout on Day 4 - mostly towards the bottom.  Seems like the seeds on the top do not get as much water (yes, it's been watered daily).  I think we're gonna pick up a spray bottle to mist those seeds.  In interim, I'm dripping water on them.  The design of the pottery is mainly the reason why the top Chia seeds are not getting water.

Check out Sepia Chia Madagascar Marty!
I just got back home from seeing Halestorm and Theory of a Deadman at Crocodile Rock Cafe ... I was exhausted and did not realize Sepia was set for the camera on my Droid.

Sepia ... still left on from the night before :-)

Day 7 (January 29, 2010)

Chia Madagascar Marty :: Day 3

Yay!!!  Chia Madagascar Marty has made it to Day 3!  Geez, did he leak a lot today.  I nearly had to fill the pottery 1/2 way tonight when I got home.  I also dumped the convenient plastic drip tray half full of water (and lots of Chia seeds) right before the refill.

The seeds are set.  I guess the only thing to do is make sure there's plenty of water
