Germinating the Bonsai Seeds

Today began the journey of growing a bonsai tree. The term bonsai is Japanese, literally meaning "tray planting." It is a form of art that uses miniature trees grown in containers. The first step in this process of growing a bonsai is the Germinate the seeds. The directions received along side the seeds instructed the grower to place the seeds on a small dish with water just covering them, topped with a moist cloth. One should leave them in a dark area at room temperature for two days then move them to the fridge for seven days. After this one should then proceed to plant them. 

I have done as instructed and my seeds are now sitting on a shelf in my room where they will not be disturbed until Thursday evening when i will put them into the fridge.
