I didn't have time to garden last summer...planning my wedding kind of took up all the time I would've normally spent mucking around in the dirt.
I've used lentils to grow sprouts as a science project for kids. Same with other beans and peas. If you buy them from the local hippie co-op like I do, they'll sprout quite well. Actually, I'm thinking of doing a plant-related science demo for my kiddos at school.
My big project for this year is to get all my planters cleaned up, fill them with good soil, and plant yummy things, be they from my kitchen or elsewhere. We have a huge garden-garden at my house, but because of the way the garden is situated, I have to spend a significant amount of time each year beating back English ivy and Himalayan blackberry. We also have an enormous hedge (more like a forest) of laurel that has to go before I can ever hope to grow anything in the backyard. It's a project that's going to take years--taking out the laurel, removing some of the soil, tilling in new soil, building raised beds, etc.--but we'll get there.
