Question
What kind of plants can I germinate fairly quickly in water? It can't require a lot of special care or space, and it's got to be something I can get in any nearby store. I live in Washington and will be raising these indoors. What plant is best?

Answer
Hi Hallie,
Thanx for your question.  Generally, I do not do homework or projects as this is a forum for hobbyists and amateur horticulturalists.  But, I will attempt to answer your question.

I would try dry beans from the grocery store or if you have some on hand in the pantry or cupboard.  Any dry bean should do fine.  I would just wet a paper towel and keep the beans in this paper towel and be sure to keep them warm.  If you put them in a tray on top of the fridge and keep them wet, they should germinate in 3-5 days.

I hope this helps.

Tom
