Experiment 8 - Meet the garden

I finally managed to take some sort of decent photos today. In celebration, I put together the post I’ve been meaning to assemble since I planted the instant garden in the first place. Here are all of the plants that have come up so far, from closest to the sidewalk to furthest:

1.  Pinto Beans

2.  The lone Navy Bean

3.  Popcorn

4. Lentils
 

5. Green Lentil (super mega closeup)

The barley still hasn’t come up. Also, it turns out the “green sunflower” I planted is apparently something called… pepita? I’m not sure. I know absolutely nothing about it. The seeds may have even been dry roasted, which would definitely reduce my chances of success. Anyway, in the case of both the pepita and the barely, I did the rational thing and simply re-planted them in ridiculous numbers. 

Theory: If I plant enough seeds, something’s bound to come up eventually. Right?
