Bob did a great little project for Cinco de Mayo ( a day early) . We had a big aloe plant which I took to work and of course it grew a lot of little plants. So he pulled them out and brought them home.
We got some miscellaneous containers ( yogurt, pringles) and he planted them in the cups. So now we will have some more to keep or to give! They are so much fun. And so easy to grow!
When he was done , he put some decorative stone to hold in the water. Actually , he got it from Salvation Army. It is rocks for aquariums, but we thought it looked decorative !
A little historical note : Cinco de Mayo celebrates the Battle of Puebla , at which the Mexican Army defeated a larger , better trained French Army. Oddly enough , it is not celebrated all that much in Mexico itself. Rather , it was brought to California by Mexican Settlers. Today Mexican Americans celebrate their heritage.
Life's always a holiday on Shady Lane!
