Yesterday's post got me thinking about my grade school days when we put toothpicks in potatoes and grew plants. I think we planted the tops of pineapples too.

Of course today, toothpicks seem archaic. Check out these seeds that grow in NASA goo so you can watch the roots grow. Or these cutie animals that grow grass out their head. I especially like the chick peep.

    That reminds me of how you start seedlings in Jell-O..maybe this stuff doesn't get moldy, haha.

    Anything with goo is good with me!
    That first picture reminded me that I wanted to make Easter eggs this year. Cute!
