Day 5 Pea Shoots. Look how fast they grow!<\/p>\n

(At least no practical information. \u00c2\u00a0I’m sure I diagrammed such things back in science class 1000 years ago ;)) I’ve learned about earthworm castings and vermiculite. \u00c2\u00a0I’m feeling oddly confident; as if this were really anything like gardening. \u00c2\u00a0But I always thought my thumbs weren’t so green.<\/p>\n
