Spring Planting

This spring we decided to focus on growing and planting, and learning the ins and outs of it all.

There are so many topics...

How plants grow.

What they need.

Where food comes from.

How to dig holes and remove the plants from there containers.

How they start from seed.

The water cycle.

Parts of a plant.

What compost is.

What animals are good for a garden and which aren't.

How much water a plant needs.

It's endless really, the number of conversations that have come up!

The girls have planted beans and transplanted them as Jack and the bean stocks. They have started their own parsley and viola's. They have visited a farm and seen the seed that winter wheat grows from. They have helped Grammie choose and plant her flowers. They have planted window boxes made by Grandad with flowers they chose themselves, and wandered through forests and gardens. and greenhouses.

And we still hope to grow our own cherry tomato's, enjoy an arboretum tour on trees, plant the front garden, and with any luck, harvest our vegetables!
