A few months ago, I decided Logan could use a hands-on science project - and if it taught patience, too, that's even better. I decided on purchasing a Root View Farm kit. You plant seeds in dirt they give you, and using rope wicks, water gets absorbed through the bottom, up to the roots, and grows your root-type vegetables.
Typical Logan, he didn't follow directions. He planted all of 1 kind of veggie instead of the 3 different ones they supplied. We had to put in some carrot seeds after the fact. He also didn't plant them next to the glass for viewing, so we have no idea if our 2 carrot plants are all greens or are actually growing.
Either way, we did end up with a few radishes after about 60 days. The largest one was sort of dull-tasting. Maybe it stayed in the dirt too long. The others were spicy and good. We had them in our salad that night.
As for the 2 carrot plants, only time will tell if they'll turn out okay. Either way, I think we're going to do all carrots next time around.
