4B Garden Fun!

All our groups had our tasks explained to us in the beginning, then away we went! One exciting thing we had never done before was planting carrots. We never knew that the seeds were all on a string and we planted them 1 cm deep. We covered the seeds with soil and  we watered them with worm tea. Some of us cut off the big leaves from the pumpkin plants. The leaves take away all the nutrients so when the big leaves are cut off the pumpkin will grow much bigger.

We planted lettuce and then covered them with plastic bottles. We cut off some long celery stalks which will be used in the kitchen. The chooks were fed and we gathered 3 eggs. We were to put the kitchen scraps inside the chook pen and overgrown brussels sprout plants behind the pen. Some of us put the brussels sprout plants inside the pen! The chooks were not amused!

  1. Hi, Interesting post, you experienced so many different parts of the garden in one session!! Wondering why you placed plastic bottles over the lettuce seedlings?

    • The bottle ensures that no one steps on the baby plant. The bottle also helps to trap the moisture in and slugs and snail do not eat the baby plant
