I am sad to report that my sproutlings died. Undaunted, I decided to try again. This time I took three seeds and planted each in individual pots about an inch deep in potting soil. I also left them outside instead growing them inside. I watered them every other day. One sprouted. The other two did not. I replanted the two pots with two seeds per pot. And, I am happy to say that all the seeds sprouted and are growing beautifully.

Noni Revisited

I posted the ring design, Noni, on April 25, 2010. Since then, I have had several inquiries about how to wear it. So, here is Noni revisited.
