Seeds and Sprouting: Farmer Daisy's Greenhouse
Inside Farmer Daisy’s Greenhouse it is warm and cozy, and seeds are waking up everywhere: bean seeds in glass jars and tiny sprouts in seed trays.
Remember: A seed holds a tiny baby plant and food for it, wrapped in a tough seed coat. To sprout, a seed needs water, warmth and air. When a seed starts to grow it is called germination, and the root comes out first.
Magic trick: A seed is a baby plant in a lunchbox: the seed coat is the box, and the stored food is its lunch.
