How to Start Seeds in a Plastic Sandwich Bag

This method of seed starting is one that's popular in preschool and kindergarten classes.  Both of my older two have come home from school with their little beanstalks that they started in school. 

What you need:

:: Seeds

:: Plastic sandwich bags

:: Paper towels

:: Water

:: Seed Starter Mix (totally optional; our seeds have always sprouted without it)

Wet the paper towels down and place them in the bag.   If you have it on hand (as I happen to have some), add a teaspoon or so of Seed Starter Mix to your bag as well.  Add one or two seeds.  Seal the bag, then tape the sealed bag to a sunny window.

Wait and see what happens - be prepared for squeals of ooooh! from your kiddos when they spot little green seedlings emerging.  ;-) 

I'll share our seedling progress with you next week!
