Gardening

Last Friday, one of our wonderful parents graciously came to share her time and talents with us planting a new vegetable garden.

We currently have tomatoes and peppers growing and the children were delighted to have an excuse to play in the dirt as we prepared the planters for our carrot, kale and lettuce seeds.


While we were preparing the planters, we discovered a worm!

Then we planted the kale, carrot and lettuce seeds in a circular pattern.

After the seeds were planted, children learned how to water our new seeds just enough. Goodness knows the children LOVE to keep our plants watered!

Amazingly, we came in yesterday morning to find that some of our new seeds had already begun to sprout!
 And today we decided to read, "The Vegetables we Eat" written by Gail Gibbons. The children are already looking forward to harvesting our growing vegetables.
