Will it Work?

I won a Chia Pet Garden Gnome as a white elephant gift at a holiday party...growing up, I always wanted one, but was never good at saving my money or convincing my parents to get me one.  :)

The kids helped me measure the seeds and water...and helped me stir the mixture throughout the hour we had to let it sit and thicken.  It turned in an almost gel-like consistency that was easy to spread...

But many of the seeds were in the tray within an hour...so hard to say if they will sprout or where they will sprout!  There are plenty of seeds left so we can probably try it again if this attempt fails.  I was surprised at how little the Gnome is - no bigger than the size of my hand.  We have to fill him up with water every morning.  The packaging also said we can trim the sprouts and that they should live approximately 5 weeks.  Stayed tuned!  :)
