| Dexter is SO excited to see that his lettuce seeds have sprouted! |
 |
| The start of sweet potato slips. We placed the potatoes 1/3 of the way in water. Soon they will grow vines from the eyes, called 'slips'. The slips will be cut from the potato and set in water. There they will grow roots. From here we can plant them in the garden in late May and with good luck we will harvest the sweet potatoes in the fall! |
 |
| Our lettuce seeding from week 1; some have started to sprout. |
 |
| Our light rack where we are growing our projects since it is still so cold outside. Light racks are a great way to get things started early as they provide heat, light, and protection from the elements. |
What a great experience for the kids! It is so wonderful that you are doing this.
ReplyDeleteThank you Rebecca! I am so excited about gardening with the kids at school; it is so nice to see how enthusiastic they are about gardening.
