I like to drink tea and I like to grow plants.
Tea makes me feel good and the multiple plants around the house brighten up my day.
I propose that whatever brand tea bag company, places a single Curcuma Inodora seed in each tea bag.
I steep my tea and drink it.
I toss the used tea bag into
any old pot prepaird with some soil.
If am lucky the seedling will sprout, if not I just drink some more tea and try again another time.
The discarded tea bags will act as fertizer as it decomposes.
I don't know why but this idea makes me smile.
Curcuma

unless the swallowed seed managed to sprout inside your stomach and come out your DAMN EARS, THEN I'LL KILL YOU |
|

Boiling water does not kill these seeds? |
|
| |
Ms. Green absolutely loves this idea, and
tips her hat to the new found baker. I don't
care if the boiling does kill the seed, the
thought of something useful to do with all
my green tea bags is movtivating. |

|

Do you mean Scarification? |
|
| |
That is a form of body art where patterns, words or symbols are cut or gouged into the skin then allowed to heal into a "decorative" set of scars. |

Webfishrune, I deleted that post but then looked it up it is called scarification, the word has two meanings. |

Long time no phlish, modify I shall thanks for the input. Any suggestions by the way? |
|
| |
That is a thought, but I was hopeing for the effortless growing of decent looking indoor plants. |
|
| |
This could be a good thing though, you really wouldnt want a new plant with every pot of tea you made. It would be more random if one actually made it due to my poor ablility to manage time. |

I heat the water and run to the shower, I get back toss my tea bag in the semi cooled water and enjoy my tea on the road. When I get to work I toss the tea bag in the grow pot next to my desk. |

+ I love this and would immediately like a coffee version. |
