Planting our seeds! by Eli


In this post Eli will be taking us through the process of planting our seeds.

In the first picture, you can see that the teacher laid out on a table all the vegetables that we can grow outside in our garden plots. Some of the vegetables available included carrots, beets, garlic, and all sorts of beans. All the vegetables did have certain things in common, like how far apart the seeds needed to be placed between one another, and how many days it would take to maturity. Some of the vegetables needed special treatment, like the peppers have to start indoors until germination is done.




In picture two you can see numerous things going on with everyone's gardens. Alex and Dustin are already getting started planting the seeds they want in their plot. They are approximating the exact space each seed needs in order to grow properly. I can be seen in the picture overlooking my finished rows on my plot, with trenches in between in order to prevent flooding. Mhaya can be seen using a hoe to finish of her rows. Jacob can be seen using a watering pot to water his plot and to give the seeds he just planted the nutrients they need to grow.

Now that we have our rows laid out and our seeds planted it is time to water, step back, and watch our garden grow!
