Using tea leaves to help grow stronger seeds, new seeds for a brighter garden. 💐💐
Its been a slow day today, i took a while getting out of bed due to being in pain, i decided to lie as long as i could to see if it would ease, thankfully it did allowing me to get up to have something to eat. Hubby was going shopping with his mum so it was just me and my 3 furbabies who were fast asleep on my bed. 

It wasn't a very nice day, dull and cold, looked like it was going to rain, then around 5 the sun came out, typical when the day is ending we get the sun. 

My plans for today were to test what i had read yesterday on the site about the tea leaves. I wrote about it here:

https://steemit.com/life/@karenb54/a-day-making-pots-and-pots-of-tea-to-rid-my-garden-of-pests-and-weeds-fingers-crossed-it-works

I started with 6 biodegradable pots, I added a little compost.

I have been saving the teabags that i have used, i wanted them to dry out a little before adding them to the pots. I am going to buy loose tea next time, will be so much easier to use and less messy. Thank you  @len.george **again.**

I bought a box of Red Flower seeds that i wanted to use as they are Bee Friendly and something different to what i have grown previously.  These will add a bit more colour to my garden.

I was surprised what came out of the box, it wasn't seeds more like granules. I  am now not sure what to expect.

I then opened the tea bags tipping the leaves on  top of the compost. I did that to 5 pots on the 6th i only added compost, this is to see it there is a difference in how the seeds grow.

I have watered these and placed them on my kitchen window sill, they will get the sun here and i will be able to keep an eye on them as we are due some bad weather.  I have lots of pots to transfer these to if they do grow. 

My outside plants don't need watering today as they got a good watering when it was raining.  I can now settle down for the night. 

<center>**HAPPY WEEKEND EVERYONE.**</center>

Good thinking to have a "control sample", so you know if the idea is going to work.
If you want to be really lazy, put the teabags complete, unbroken, on top of the soil around the growing plants, including the trees, 
They will slowly dissolve, compost, lay them in a pretty pattern as you go.
they also help a little in retaining water between waterings.
