Growing Plants and Girls

H has been growing a plant. She started them at coop from kernels and beans in a damp plastic bag. Once they sprouted, we planted in a pot and have been measuring. Yesterday the corn plant (the only one we planted in the dirt) was 5 1/2 inches tall (she measured). This morning, a cat dug in the pot and tore the corn plant off the roots. Such is life... we will start a bean plant soon and put it somewhere up high where the cat won't get it. ;)
