A few weeks ago I put some dirt in empty toilet paper rolls and added a seed. Guess what? It's working! The roots are starting to grow THROUGH the paper roll, which is a good sign. My garden may be tilled and ready for planting this weekend, so then I'll watch to see if the tubes actually decompose over the summer.I saw another idea that sounded *CRAZY*: wet a cotton ball, stick a seed in it and tape it to a window. Guess what? It WORKS!!!! I have beans growing up my window and tiny little spinach sprouts too.
Can you see the little roots growing all over that cotton ball? Who knew you could grow a plant without dirt?

Timmy's teacher wet a brown paper towel and put a seed in a baggie. That worked too! We need to plant the baby sunflower plant outside now!
