Not all of our gardeners are fair- weathered! Before braving the elements to do some gardening we looked at mass flow in plants by putting some flowers and celery into colored water. (here is the group showing the colorful plant results)
Outside, we saw evidence of transpiration by doing this: www.shoalwater.nsw.gov.au/education/transpiration_experiment.htm
Then we transplanted the corn, peppers, onions, pumpkin, and basil; and planted the onion sets.
The potato project is going well! Here is the link to the potato council that sent us the potatoes: http://www.potatoesforschools.org.uk/?PageLev1=1&PageLev2=0&PageLev3=0
our Potatoes are currently 56 cm high! In another month we will be able to dig them up and compare them to other gardening groups' potatoes! Some one remind me to get a picture of the potatoes next time!!
we dug up one of the 'accidental' potato plants growing in the compost heap and we saw the little tiny white balls at the end of the roots that will grow into potatoes.
