Just a note about the gardens - some of them haven't started to visibly grow yet because we planted them on different days.  The ones you see below were some of the first we planted. Some of the others are just beginning to sprout.  The one below is Mike B's and you can really see the new seedling growing from the bean. Also, look at all the roots!  If you look carefully, you can also see the corn growing in the middle against the bottle wall.
