Lima Bean Germination Day 14 (final)

Day: 14
New parts: foliage leaves
Observation: The seeds have fully sprouted. The leaves are no longer hidden in the shell, but have grown.

Reflection: I got to see my lima bean go through the germinating process for two weeks. Each day I saw something different. It was a trasnformation from small seeds to actual plants that are still growing. I got to see first hand what happens instead of seeing drawings or pictures that others took.
