Growing plants

The Orca class has worked hard learning about plants this year. First we made newspaper pots to plant seeds in. We planted heirloom seeds for peas, radishes, lettuce, rainbow chard, and kaliedoscope carrots. We put these little pots of seeds under a grow light. Every day we sprayed them with water. The seedlings are very tiny!

After a couple of days of sitting on the back porch to get used to being outside, we transplanted the seedlings into pots. We mixed potting soil with compost to give them healthy food to eat.

Here are our finished pots! We hope they will grow strong and healthy vegetables so we can eat them and become strong and healthy!
