March 27-Watching Seeds Germinate

I "like" a website on Facebook called Frugal Living NW. It's a great website that gives couponing ideas, as well as, home making ideas, etc. I just happened to come across this neat, easy project on seed germinating. All you have to do is get a large vase, a paper towel, some newspaper, and some seeds. We used some pea, cucumber, bean, and watermelon seeds. We lined the inside of the vase with a paper towel. We then put crumbled up newspaper in the middle, up to about the half way point. Then we dropped seeds around the outside of the paper towel (but inside the vase) at various spots (making sure they don't touch the bottom) Then, we put water in the middle. The newspaper holds the water and the paper towel soaks it up to water the seeds. We've only needed to water twice in the past week. Just don't let your paper towel get dry and you're golden! Here's day 1: And here's Day 7-Look at how much they grew in a week! We put them in the window. I'm sure that helped a lot!
