Budding Botanist: Dexter second-grader Peggy Brown, 7, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Brown of 7645 Third St., got more magic out of Halloween than she bargained for. She saved the seeds from her Halloween pumpkin in a glass jar for feeding to the birds this winter on the hedge in front of her house, where she has placed bread and other goodies for the past several years. A number of the seeds sprouted and now have vigorous green shoots as much as nine inches high. Noting that the shoots are considerably bulkier than the seeds from which they started, she is launching a secondary study of the magic of photosynthesis. Those seeds that didn't sprout are still for the birds.
