Back to Garden Day 22-23

March 2nd & 3rd grade’s garden days

3/30/2023 1:15 pm

Note from our garden teacher: While in the garden today and yesterday, students participated in observations of their potato patches. It was noted that 3rd grade potatoes are taller and have more flowers. Students made the connection that the 3rd grade potatoes were planted first, therefore making them appear more mature. We investigated the bluebonnets and they were shown how to pull down the flower petal to reveal the pollen inside of the flower, just like the bees do. Some students planted cucumber, bean, cosmos, and cilantro seeds. A tomato plant and two pepper plants (mucho nacho, and sweet banana) were added to a bed along with some marigolds to keep away the pests. These seeds will need daily watering to encourage a higher rate of germination. We cannot wait to see all of the gardens come back to life this spring!
