My oldest stated "those radish seeds stink."



We have been planting seeds for six days now and so far nothing has sprouted. In case you are late in the planting story, our radish and cabbage seeds have been floating in salt water for over 10 days and each day after the first 10 days I have been planting a few floating radish seeds, a few radish seeds from the bottom of the water bath and some of the cabbage seeds (they all sank). We are now waiting to see which ones will grow. If we are able to get any of them to grow we can then determine that those seeds could have traveled in the ocean for that many days and then could have made it to shore (some how) and could have started to grow, building a new plant. With an estimate of 30 miles a day on the ocean current, the seeds will have traveled at least 300 miles.

Here is another picture of the planting team. My oldest stated "those radish seeds stink." So it is now confirmed, they do indeed stink.
