MAKE A SEED NECKLACE
 |
Get some new radish seeds, a section of paper towel, a plastic zipper snack bag like Glad®, a paper punch, and a piece of string or yarn about 3 feet long.
Wet the paper towel with water. Don't make it dripping wet.
Put 3 or 4 seeds in the center of the wet paper towel.
Fold the paper towel around the seeds to make a small packet.
Put the packet of seeds inside the plastic snack bag. Zip the snack bag shut.
Punch a hole in the middle of the edge of the bag above the zipper.
Put the string or yarn through the hole and tie the ends together.
Put the string/yarn around your neck and wear the necklace close to your body. Your body heat will help the seeds germinate quickly. By the next day you should see roots coming out of the seeds when you unwrap the packet.
CAUTION: Don't go to bed with the seed necklace around your neck. It might choke you. If you want to sleep with your seeds, put your necklace under your pillow.
