The Chia Poll was Chia Crappy

Well I guess the Chia Pet is not very popular with the group of you that come to this blog, beause only two people voted in the poll. Not interesting enough for ye. Well you don't know what you are missing.

Chia Pets are grown by applying moistened seeds of chia , the aromatic annual from whose common name the Chia Pet gets its name, to the clay, grooved figurine body. After three to five days consisting of filling and refilling the Chia Pet with water as well as discarding water that has accumulated in the provided drip tray, the seeds sprout, having formed a gelatinous coat that adheres to the Chia Pet's body. At this point, little effort is required to maintain the Chia Pet, whose plant counterpart grows into a verdurous covering.

Now isn't that something! This would be a good way to get the kids into agriculture or even into being a John Deer tractor operator ,I think. A little know fact is the George Washington Carver ,the inventor of the peanut , became interested in botanical research becasue his mother gave him a Scooby Doo Chia Pet on his fifth birthday. Don't believe me, look it up skeptics.
