Update: How is your bean plant growing?
Did you notice that when the beans started to soak up the water they got fatter? It didnÆt take long to see some changes.
First a little root began to grow and before long the stem reached up out of the cup and tiny leaves began to grow.
As soon as your bean plants have tiny leaves it is ready for a new home!
Now it is time for a pot and soil. Carefully plant your beans in the pots and watch what happens.
The bean plant will begin to make food from the soil, water, and sunshine.
Take good care of your plant and before long flowers will appear. Those flowers will turn to bean pods.
When they are ripe you can have them with your dinner, or dry them in the sun and start more bean plants!
