FRONT YARD FUN!

HI! Guess what? Our seeds are starting to grow! Some flowers are very, very, very, very, big! We moved the ones that are growing outside today! 

We planted the seeds in the front yard, here is what we did: 
(1) we dug a few holes
(2) we got a little of the green stems for each hole 
(3) we put them in the hole
(4) we put dirt on them 
(5) we poured water on them 
(6) we put more dirt on them. 

So we had a lot of fun! Well, got to go! THE END

Measuring spoons and other stuff

Well I have some really, really, really, really, really bad news.  We planted the seeds without you!  But that is ok, I am going to tell you everything we did. 


First, we got all the stuff we needed, seeds, instructions, water, measuring spoons, pots, water, and dirt.  Then I read the instructions to Max and Nina.


Then we put the soil pellets in the bowl and covered them with the water from the measuring spoons.


Then, we smashed the soil pellets with forks to break up the soil.


After that, we poured the soil into the pots, and sprinkled the seeds on top.



Then Max took the pots and put them in the bay window in the school room in a good patch of sunlight.  And guess what?  They haven't grown a BIT!!  I am going to keep checking and I will let you know when I see something growing.  It should be any minute now.


And Momma put some of our extra seeds on a sponge to see if plants can grow without dirt, but I don't think they are going to.

Momma also put all the pictures on my blog for me today.

TOOLS AND GARDENING AND FUN!

Hello, guess what? You get to come to my house soon! Do you know why? Because we are going to plant some fruit and vegetables and flowers! My mom got these little pots and some seeds that have names on them like strawberries and sunflowers and basil and stuff like that! But before you come, you need to pack the stuff we will need. Okay, here is a list of things you need to bring.
(1) shovel
(2) seeds
(3) pots
(4) watering can
(5) GOD
My mom said that once our plants get 3 inches tall, we are going to plant them in the garden in our backyard.  The only way these plants will grow is to give them water and let God give them sunshine.  I will let you know know when it is time to plant them in the ground and you can come over and help!  Right now I am going to go into the house and fix lunch. See you soon!
