The Road Less Traveled

Our Hair Growth Center for Spuds is coming along nicely.  Note: potential members should be aware that having children plant your hair may result in the loss of one or more pieces of your mouth. The vegetable seeds planted a little while ago have finally been placed in containers. Before: After: The name of this lesson is:  How not to grow vegetables!  The seeds sat for too long in plastic bags.  I know better than to let seeds grow for long in such close proximity to one another.   So what did I do?  Out of sheer laziness, I repeatedly put off potting the seeds.  I hoped that the roots would not all knot together too badly.  Right!  And what did we learn from mommy's procrastination?  The roots were, as you probably guessed, so badly intertwined that some of them could not be separated without sustaining a great deal of damage.  Oops!  Those are now packed in their containers like sardines.  This wasn't a total bust, though.  A few of the seeds were spared!  The kids can eventually compare the results of proper planting to improper planting.
