This week we were happy to discover that most of our tomato seeds have sprouted!
We are keeping them in our seedling grow house until they are a bit bigger and stronger and are ready to be planted into larger pots of potting mix.
We have been carefully watering them everyday and taking them outside into the sun.
Tomatoes need as much natural light as possible or else they'll grow tall and spindly!
Here are our baby tomato seedlings...
Two of our strawberry plants are doing well, and two have died...
We aren't sure why because we cared for all of them in the same way.
Hopefully our two surviving plants will give us some strawberries before the end of the year!
This week our Agria seed potatoes were finally ready to be planted.
We planted them in 3 plastic planter bags, and a special potato pot that lets you lift the inner part up and see the potatoes growing!
We put them in the planter bags with their sprouts pointing up, then covered them with more compost...
Once the shoots appear through the soil, we will add more.
Hopefully we will have some yummy new potatoes before the summer holidays!
Next week we are going to make newspaper seed containers for our bean seeds.
