Yesterday's post got me thinking about my grade school days when we put toothpicks in potatoes and grew plants. I think we planted the tops of pineapples too.

Of course today, toothpicks seem archaic. Check out these seeds that grow in NASA goo so you can watch the roots grow. Or these cutie animals that grow grass out their head. I especially like the chick peep.
