Growing Vegetables

Do you remember a while ago when the teddy bears sowed some peas and broad beans indoors in a jam jar? (You can read all about that here). They said that they would let you know what happened to them.

Well, it's been very exciting! Although seeds don't grow whilst you watch them, if you leave them for a while in the jam jar, as the bears did, and just keep topping up the water a little bit every now and then to keep the kitchen towel damp, they WILL start to grow.

You can see from their pictures here that the peas grew roots and shoots quite quickly, compared to the broad beans which seemed to grow very slowly - in fact, at one stage, the bears nearly threw them away because they thought they weren't growing at all!
