In recent days, as snow blankets the landscape and temperatures continue to drop, thoughts of spring may seem distant. Most vegetable gardens and flower beds now lie dormant, creating a somewhat gloomy scene across much of the peninsula. Winter’s chill is settling in, but the idea of sowing the first seeds of spring is still far off. So, why not embark on a simple experiment that, within minutes, allows you to witness the miracle of new life emerging? Let’s explore how to do just that.
We’ve all heard the saying, “an apple a day keeps the doctor away.” While one apple alone may not suffice, consuming at least two daily is recommended. However, for the experiment we’re about to undertake, even less will do. Apples happen to be one of the most straightforward fruits to use in creative experiments. After all, it can take many years for an apple tree to bear fruit, but it takes only a few days to witness a seed germinate.
