Anyways. Here is what I did so far today:
Inside were two little circles of soil and the packets of seeds. I put the soil in a large bowl and poured water over the soil so that it would expand. Then I fluffed it with a fork and poured a tad more water in it so the soil was damp to the touch and evenly distributed it into the metal canisters.
After that, I took the seeds out of the packets and gently pressed them into the soil. I had some leftover in the bowl and placed that on the very top, making sure to cover all the seeds. It was difficult to see the basil because the seeds blended in with the dark soil, so I'm hoping I was able to cover them all!
Then, I decided to make labels on the computer so I knew which plant was which!
I have to say that this cutter was the best investment I ever made....even though I keep telling Chris I need a bigger one at some point! haha. Its good for small projects, but it is extremely difficult to use when you need larger pieces of paper!
When all of that was finally done (it really only took about ten minutes total!), I scanned the house for a nice sunny place to put my new plants! Luckily, we have a nice table in the living room that needs some love, so I decided on that spot. It gets lots of sun during the day and its out in the open where I can see it so I'm hoping I won't forget to water it daily (fingers crossed)!
So now, all I can do is hope and pray that I remember to take care of it! And once it starts growing, I'll be able to pick my own herbs for our food! How exciting!
