Popcorn growing

One day in reading we were reading an article about some kids that planted popcorn seeds. We thought that we might try it too.First we had to buy some popcorn seeds Mr Willis bought some popcorn and we placed it in between some wet papper towels.Then we waited until they started sprouting roots.
We left them for about 3 weeks so that the roots could grow bigger and bigger. Then we filled a tray with soil. When they were big enough we planted them in the soil and gave them a bit of water now we have to wait for them to grow.

  1. i never thought of growing them! Are they ordinary popcorn kernels that you buy to pop? I wonder if this is heat treated first? I can't wait to read whether they grow.

    1. We never thought of growing popcorn until we read the article.Yes they are just normal popcorn seeds that you would pop in the microwave or in the pan. We cant wait to see if they grow.Thank you for your comment

  2. One of my groups read that too. But I thought I'd wait till later next term to do the growing for optimal growing conditions. Please keep us informed about how this works out.
