plants how they do grow

So my wonderful girls and i, a little while ago went to the store and bought ourselves a jiffy pot green house. We got the large 72 pellet size because the 25 just seemed so small. The girls haggled for quite some time over which seeds to buy. Eventually we left the store with three seed packets. They were short & sweet carrots, super sweet cherry tomatoes, and a kaleidoscope mix of sweet peppers. They had a blast watching the pellets grow and planting the seeds. I felt confident that we would end up with at least 6 viable plants, hopefully two of each. The girls watched and waited and watered when needed and were rewarded with sprouts.
Our jiffy pot green house worked wonders and we had to thin out our plants in all 72 pellets. We even had to re-pot all the tomato and some pepper plants because they were simply too big for the green house. My girls helped pour the soil, dig the holes, place the plants, and water afterwards with the re-potting. All that preschooler help and the little plants look happier than ever. Looking at the 2o pots of tomatoes and peppers, I think we may end up with a few more than 6 plants.
My little science/math lesson is not near so little as i was planning. Good thing we like vegetables.
