Sprouting

It's snowing as I write this, April 21st in the Pacific Northwest.  Disturbing.  And yet, things are growing too!  We put bean seeds on a damp paper towel in a Ziploc bag, and taped them to the window about a week and a half ago.  It's been such fun to see them change every day, and now we'll plant them in cups.  There have been some nice gardening/spring book lists out there lately, with most of our favorites mentioned numerous times.  With this "project" we really enjoyed One Bean by Rockwell, illustrated by Halsey.  Zinnia's Flower Garden by Wellington was a fun one too.

Other spring/planting favorites:
Roots, Shoots, Buckets & Boots by Lovejoy
Spring is Here by Lenski (so sweet, just like all of her books)
Growing Vegetable Soup by Ehlert

On our library list:
A Seed is Sleepy by Aston

Good idea taping the seed bag to the window. We'll have to try that one. I hadn't heard of the Aston book before, but Mogs and I talk a lot about how our lettuce seeds have gone to bed (so she won't disturb them...)
