Planting Beans

I had these kidney beans that has stayed too long in my fridge and thought of throwing it away. But hey...instead of throwing it away, why not plant it? and see what happens?



So here we are, putting the beans into several different cups...
- into the soil,
- on the cotton,
- just leave it like that in the cup with no medium at all,
- Timmy accidently threw some beans onto our garden,

We then think of several places to put them...
1. Under the sun.
2. In the room, with little sunshine.
3. In the dust bin, where it gets no sunshine at all.

After that, we wrote the steps that we did:




We then left to Bandung for holiday.
By the time we came back, the beans has grown! Interesting!





Conclusion:
The beans that are in the garden, grew straight and tall...
The ones that are in the bin is a bit pale green colour, some are not even growing...
The ones that are in the room, grew tilted and crooked, and tend to grow towards the sun...
The ones that we left without any medium, stays the same...



Timmy gets to learn how plants grow. :)
The beans are not wasted. Yay!


Few weeks later, the plastic pot of the beans fell over, and interestingly the bean grew tilted, with it's stem growing straight towards the sun.
