seeds in a glove experiment

Remember a few weeks ago we went to the Children's Museum and did a science experiment--we put 4 different seeds into a clear glove with a cotton ball and some water.  Here are the recent pictures from this week.  We took Dd's seeds out a week ago and planted them in this planter.  Today we planted my seeds into the same planter.  It was cool watching the roots grow - I could see through the clear plastic; but decided it was time to plant the plants as they were outgrowing the glove.


May 2, 2012 we made the seed gloves

June 3rd, 2012- our seed gloves are outgrowing the gloves

The compromise we made by moving into this neighborhood is that we can look out our back windows and see this--and pretend we are in some open space.
