That's lovely, I picked up 2 acorns when I was expecting my 3rd child, I planted it them in pots and put one out in the garden. Now it is a fine young tree and much taller than any of us...my son is 16 now.The other we grew as a bonsia and it is not thriving quite so well but ok. Hope you have got somewhere to plant yours where you can watch it grow too.
How pretty! We pulled out an tiny maple that started in our strawberries and have it in a pot. It had about 8 leaves and one is still clinging on. Fun. MaryAnne
After reading your first post about the acorn sprouting, I threw afew into a pot. I have been waiting but so far ~ nothin'! :~{ But I'm not giving up yet.
My younger siblings have an ongoing 'rescue the sprouting acorns' project with the acorns from an oak in our yard. They have two so far that are thriving a year after being 'rescued', one of those hanging on despite being driven over with a Suburban and sat on by a dog.
I see little oak ones all over my yard and in my gardens, and I have always wanted to try to move them to a little pot to transplant them later as they grow. They look so sweet like that, so tiny and all!
What a sweet photo. My husband just bought some itty bitty clay pots for the children. They've been growing various things under our grow lights in the basement that I use for seed starting in February. My daughter even has a date pit that sprouted and we're eager to see what happens.
I am an evangelical Christian. I have two daughters whom I homeschool: Bella (15), and Daisy (8), and three older children: Giles (21), a college graduate, Felix (19), a college junior, and Clara (17), a college freshman. I'm 42 years old and happily married to my Dear Composer. We live in a 1920's school converted into a home, outside of town. And God is good.
Feel free to Pin my photos, but please link back to the page you found them on.
Photography
Photography is an important part of life at my house. Photos that appear here are taken by Giles, by the Composer, and by me. Giles is a real, paid photographer, and he uses a Sony Alpha. Most of the photography prior to September 2008 is his. Since then I have done most of the shooting and I use a Konica Minolta. Additionally, the Composer offers me nice shots on occasion, often from his little Canon point and shoot. I've given up trying to note who's done what. Thanks for your interest!

That is a great idea that I will have to try!
