Turnips Children Planted

Posted on April 12, 2013 by Lil Bebe Academy

Fifth week of turnip growth. The weather is still iffy- so we will keep indoors until all signs of winter is really gone. The weather says snow is in our forecast …sigh!

Here the children all participated in planting seeds using recycled baby food jars.

Turnips purchased from Aldi for less than $1

This is the 2nd-3rd week growth

The window sill provide enough sunlight for their growth. In the picture you see some Morning Glory that I planted myself that week.

Fifth week and they are looking good.

Pumpkin Seeds

Summer came early for us. We had great weather and decided to plant some pumpkin seeds. All the children were involved in this beloved activity. This was a messy project but its science in the making. It was a success because it helped each child take turns, use mathematics, learn about gardening and more importantly learn the science of growing plants with seeds. Happily we were outdoors and the mess was nothing a little hose could not take care of.

We planted these seeds in March and the plants emerged in late April. Each child got to take their own tin home. Hopefully they will have pumpkins for Fall.
