If you can believe it, I am opening the eggs I use at the very top and shaking the contents out -- in the hope that I can find those tiny African violets to plant inside them. Otherwise, I'll use them to start seeds. I'm told once the seeds sprout you can plant the entire thing and the seedling has an instant dose of calcium from the egg shell.sandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17355232032181406759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258431463372570480.post-88445274848006025702013-04-01T09:56:39.226-05:002013-04-01T09:56:39.226-05:00That tea is apparently jasmine scented.
