OttawanZ5,
I was referring to the fact that the small tree appeared beside the "stalk" as being luck. Perhaps that would happen anyway. I live in Ohio, and had the original tree in a pot on the front porch during our warmer weather, took it inside when it got cold. That's when the leaves fell off one by one.
rafed,
I use seeds because I like watching the pots and seeing the small plants come forth. Must be the science teacher in me. ;-). It's not about the money at all. I did start (or attempted) olive seeds I'd gotten from ebay. Did so in my classroom. I remember when one seedling sprouted last December, the students noticed before me and were so excited. I ended up giving that small tree to one of the ministers who visited my sister who was in a coma at the time. He had gone to pray for her, she woke up an hour later, my brother was at the hospital and told me time....it was the same time the student noticed the olive seed had sprouted!! So, I have Pastor Dan that seedling. Sadly, my sister passed on Jan 5th 2009, but, I take comfort knowing she is in a much better place.
nhardy,
The fig and figlet (I love that word) is sitting in a westward. That's the best window I have. There is a pole lamp nearby that I could put a grow bulb into, thanks for the suggestion.
Italiangirl74,
Thanks for the reply. I need to look for your website. I know I am such an amature (sp?) and is doing this for simple joy. I've always loved plants, even as a child. My mother was amazed at it. I tried to plant everything. I give plants away, sometimes to my middle school students, if I'm confident they will take care of them. I will email you privately.
Thank you everyone who replied or even read this post. I'm glad I found this forum, spent alot of time reading and just recently submitted something. Everyone enjoy your holidays!!
