My parents and later my sister and family brought us some 'Moestuin potjes' from the Albert Heijn, a Dutch supermarket. They give a little pot + seeds + earth when you spend a certain amount in their store. I planted them together with the children. Some have come up, some haven't (yet). Lev is all excited with his cucumber seedling, the big two- leafed one on the left. Roz her paksoi (not shown) is also growing well. Sep likes to just sit in the windowsill and stare at the plants. His watercress is already eaten. I asked him if he can see the seedlings grow. 'Sometimes', he said.
I like the Q&A with Sep. It's always interesting to hear how a child will answer a question. I think that children like to watch growing things, be they animal or vegetable.
