Jeanette and the Beanstalk (plus Basil)

Hi everyone!

Sorry I couldn't attend the meeting last time! I had a fever and a midterm to study for on that weekend... But I'm glad that the meeting was productive and that Sprout now has a direction to follow! Below are some pictures of the beans and basil I have been growing.

So yup! My plants have been doing quite well in their soup cup/lunch box (both of which I stole from Ralph's) and UCLA soil! I would highly recommend growing beans for quick results. For the last couple of weeks, they would grow as much as 7 cm perday!! I planted exactly 8 seeds and all 8 of them sprouted. (I know that I was supposed to thread them so they would have enough space to grow, but it would have broken my heart to do that to my babies...) As for the basil, they are very fun to pet (whereas the bean plants are fun to high-five) and they are starting to smell very nice!

As a side note, I think a possible fundraising idea would be a bake sale :) Nonetheless, I'll be posting pictures again soon! And I hope everyone is doing well!
