Term 3 Week 6 The basil seeds have already sprouted!

This week at Enviro Kids Club we talked about the word 'sustainability'. Then we watched a clip about recycling. We discussed how recycling helps the planet, the recycling that we do at school, and the recycling that we do at home... We thought of some things we have at home we could recycle that we don't use anymore like clothes and toys.

We were surprised that the teeny tiny basil seeds we planted last week have already sprouted... WOW!

We watered our potato plants and some of us were worried that they are beginning to look like they are dying... but Miss Raven told us that the plants have to wither and die back before our potatoes are ready to harvest!

Finally we went out and watered of our new fruit trees which all seem to be doing well.

 

Next week we are going to plant our tomato seedlings (on the right in the photo below) in one of our raised beds. Our pea seedlings (on the left in the photo below)are getting taller and stronger week by week but they aren't big enough to go into the raised beds yet.
