Indoor Gardening

It's been too cold and wet to do any gardening outside recently - despite Summer only just ending!! - so the teddy bears decided to try their paws at growing something indoors.

They found the tops off some carrots (which were left over when the carrots themselves had been peeled and chopped for eating - Yum! Yum!)

The bears put a small amount of water in a saucer and then put the tops, cut side down, in the water. They placed the saucer in the kitchen windowsill and settled down to watch. Nothing happened for an hour. In fact, nothing seemed to happen all day.

Little bears are not really known for their infinite patience so after the first hour, when they thought they had been very patient, they went off to do other stuff.

But Tommy decided he wanted to keep an eye on the carrots to make sure that they didn't dry out. So he regularly visited them and gave them some more water when they needed it.
