We did that with our sunflowers last year and planted more this year without having to buy more seeds. We had so many we were even able to share with the classroom in the spring for their planting project.minty6noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578525033396504580.post-66101157525293571342012-06-26T17:50:49.294-04:002012-06-26T17:50:49.294-04:00Great kit!

Having kids grow a natural and healthy sugar substitute like stevia might be really neat.Jenn_Choinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578525033396504580.post-23584060219464469212012-06-26T05:36:35.429-04:002012-06-26T05:36:35.429-04:00Julie, I like how you are just growing something s...Julie, I like how you are just growing something specific here.

The dome was quite steamy. I wonder if that had something to do with it. But yes, I realized that the healthy soil disc probably was key. I kill plants often but eventually all six seeds did sprout.Jenn_Choinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578525033396504580.post-30545886171884996962012-06-26T05:27:01.011-04:002012-06-26T05:27:01.011-04:00I've never used a kit before.
