The four red beans are starting to pop out of the soil.
Sadly, the sesame seeds aren't doing as well.
For some odd reason the red bean that I had left in between the paper towels already has leaves. This is proof that neglect doesn't always lead to a bad ending :D

Look how much they have grown in just two short days! I should have sown more densely.

These things are supposed to grow super fast. We'll see just how quickly they mature.

The sticky note attached to the side of the container indicates it contains 4 basil, 2 mesclun, and 6 thyme seedlings. Only the lettuce isn't doing too well, which isn't a surprise considering how they're not indoor plants
Tiny thyme seedlings don't want to talk to me.
Neither do the mesclun seedlings.

According to "Growing Chinese Vegetables," by
Geri Harrington, Asian beans and seeds can grow into beautiful, productive plants. When I realized what that meant, I quickly slipped my reusable bag and wallet into my pocket and headed out to the closest Asian supermarket where I scooped a couple of beans into little baggies. I got red (adzuki) beans, green (mung) beans and sesame seeds. I placed them in between wet coffee filters and waited patiently for them to germinate - and germinate they did! It took almost a week for that to happen but whatever. It's pretty chilly in my house, so I can't blame them for being a little slow. They're currently napping in their new peat pellet beds. I can't wait for leaves to appear :D
They're store-bought seeds that are supposed to be for consumption, not growth, so I'm thrilled that the seeds are alive. Hopefully they will grow into real plants, not some mutant version of their parents.
