All About Planting Seeds

Every seed holds a tiny baby plant just waiting to grow. To sprout, it needs soil, water and warmth. Many veggies are sown in a narrow groove called a row and then lightly covered with soil. After that, it’s time to water and wait for the first green shoots to poke up. Some seeds, like cress, sprout in just a few days.

What to Do with Your Finished Page

Glue real seeds, like sunflower or pumpkin seeds, into the furrow on the page. Then sow your own cress on a damp cotton pad and check on it every day.
