Pointless Planting

I have a lot of fruit trees and a vegetable patch in my garden, so my children are very used to a spot of gardening.  They are always, however, looking for their own things to grow, so we decided we'd try some pips and seeds from the fruit we had eaten that day.

First we collected some paper, a seed tray, a bucket of compost, a trowel and some fruit seeds / pips.

The legs are optional ...
 Then the kids filled the seed tray with compost.

And covered the patio, their hands, my shoes ...
 They kept a record of which seeds had been planted where.

Correct spellings are optional
 And then finally we put a propagator lid on and put it in a sunny position.

Then I have been asked if it needs watering approximately every 5 minutes since
I'm quite expecting (and have warned the kids) that nothing will grow, but you never know, I'llk eep you posted ...
