Gather information

Engineers gather information before they build.

For a garden, light is a big question.

Some windows get more sun than others.

A sunny window may be enough for a few plants.

Windowsills change

A windowsill can be cold at night.

It can get hot in the day.

Little plants with too little light grow tall and thin.

Their stems can bend.
