A week ago we planted sunflower seeds into little pots. In went the seed raising mix and then the seeds. The students from Te Kauru grew sunflowers last year and then collected the seeds. Now we can use them to grow new plants. How cool is that! We put the pots outside. They need sun and water. We are checking and noticing growth. The weather has been perfect for growing. When the plants are big enough we will plant them outside in a garden we have been preparing.
One week later . . .
A Little Seed
A little seed for me to sow
A little soil to make it grow
A little hole, a little pat,
A little wish, and that is that.
A little sun, a little shower.
A little while-
And then, a flower!
We also planted swan plant seeds for a butterfly garden. They were a lot smaller than the bean and sunflower seeds. Mr Mullholland has been helping us a lot with our learning about growing seeds and plants.
We are growing the swan plants in a little hot house for germinating seeds.
Five days later a tiny sprout appears . . .
