The Results 

How to: Wash out inside of cans while keeping the wrapper untouched. Have kids use a nail and hammer to make small drain holes in the bottom of the cans. Fill with seed starter, potting soil, or dirt from the yard. Plant a few seeds (you can thin later) in the correct store labeled can. We did green beans for green beans, tomatoes for diced and stewed tomato cans, pinto beans for Ranch Style bean cans, and peppers in a Rotel can. Place in a tray or saucer (to catch water from the drain holes) and place in a sunny window. Water carefully with a turkey baster. When they grow to size, you can plant them in your own garden or give as a gift to a friend.

Today we went to the local nursery and searched for herbs. The kids spent a long time matching the names on the containers to our Herb Garden Labels. They finally found the perfect ones.  We gathered our gloves and supplies for the project Next we filled the bottom of our jars with gravel. Then, we added potting soil. Next we added our plants and labels. Finally, we put our jars in a long tray. We plan to move it to window sills in the winter and an outside tabletop for summer.

Clyde was eager to watch the journey of his seeds. We put a couple of pinto beans in a baggie with a moist paper towel. We kept them in a dark drawer for a week. As they began to sprout we taped the baggie to our classroom window making sure the paper towel remained moist. After several weeks we planted one bean plant and labeled the other on a poster. Great fun!
