Ms. Lisa had the kids split up into three groups to plant watermelons, tomatoes, and onions. We went to the onion group since there were only a couple of kids planting those.
Ms. Lisa showed the kids how to plant the onions. What they planted looked just like dried up onions. They had to plant the them with the point facing up (some of the points had already sprouted some green new growth).
Next the kids all planted a few potatoes each. For these, the kids planted old cut up potatoes where roots had already grown out from the eyes.
We headed over to the "classroom" area and learned a little about poop pots (which are made out of cow poop). Then the kids each filled a poop pot with dirt and added some wildflower seeds.
We had to leave before class was over because Carter had a baseball game right after class. But I think the kids got to do everything. Hopefully these wildflowers will grow because our mystery seeds from the first class (which we found out today were lettuce seeds), have not grown at all!
