A Bean!

In school, Blythe has been learning about how plants grow.  She has learned that they need sun and water and they can die if they have too much water.  They can also die from too much sunlight if they don't have enough water.  In class, they put beans in platic Ziploc bags with a wet paper towel to see what would happen.  Pretty much everyone's beans died.  But Mrs. Fueger  sent everyone home with a bean and suggested they try it themselves.  Blythe carefully placed her bean on the wet paper towel, and we placed it on the ledge above the kitchen sink.  After about 10 days, it began to sprout and then a couple days later was so big it was pushing up the baggie.  Today, we transplanted it to a pot by the couch that has been growing a garlic plant.  We'll see if she get beans.
