They sell veg seed by weight year round and this could be an EXCELLENT way to get some tomato and cucumber seedlings started at EXACTLY the right time of year. Any beans (yeah even limas even if you DON'T like to eat them, they grow fast) will germinate in a few days... so that would be good. Get Dixie cups and fill them with the different soils and scratch the seeds to roughen the hulls alittle to help the germ process. Then you lucky duck after the science fair, you and your son can plant them in your back yard. And by June you'll be eating his project. win win If it’s not too late to do the seed project…. try up at Spencer’s Seed and Feed.

Was chuckling thru the reading of it, especially the clock. It was great. Greta, my dear daughter, Sounds like you are losing it. Find a science project that is easy - manybe involving pets. That you know about & there is easy access. Chulo would love to be part of an experiment. Experimenting on animals is still being done. Just, please be gentle & humane with my grandkitties & grandpup. Love, Mom Nikki,

When kid #1 was in 5th grade his science projects were creating a lunch for his classmates using ONLY things found in the wild. So we made pine needle tea(yuck), pussy willow meal which involved burning the pussy willows in order to get the seeds amid all the fluff then he had to cook wild game that He had to hunt and kill...my contribution was to provide atmosphere with a festive Fall table runner with place cards LOL...an A was scored nevertheless but his best project was making a blow dart using only PVC which he did with dad and after taking said weapon to school he then punctured his teachers clock. The clock remains with the teacher 6 years later. With my little Hellfire child I wonder about sid science fair projects....but it will be an adventure. Thanks for taking us on the journey of your life....great opps to blow coffee out of my mouth while laughing first thing in the morning! Hahaha…Bless your heart this is hilarious.
