Part One.
The first two days, I consistently added one dropper of water to each well in the morning and in the evening. On day three, I only watered them once. When the sun did break through, I would hastily place the tray in the sunlight indoors. On day four, I watered them in the morning and evening.
On day 5, (this project was during our Spring Break) my daughters wanted to help, so one daughter watered Group A, one daughter watered Group B, and I watered Group C. We had a very toasty fire in our woodstove that night.

We went out of town on day six and I watered them before we left. At this point, all I was seeing was dirt.
To my great surprise and joy, our warm woodstove and the water we'd been giving them, they finally sprouted through the soil!

See that green plant in the upper right hand corner?! |
 |
This is Group A |
 |
This is Group B |
|
 |
This is Group C |
 |
These sunflowers actually were pushing the entire clod of dirt upward with their heads instead of bursting through! |
 |
This group of sunflowers was bursting more than the previous group |
 |
And this group of sunflowers was also moving the entire clod (plants on the left)
|
So, based on my progress so far, all the seed groups received enough life from the water to sprout...
this adventure is to be continued.
Here's a link to
part three.
