<\/a><\/p>\n\u201dThe seeds are getting a drink of water!\u201d<\/p>\n
We were so delighted to see that some of our seeds had started to sprout already. \u201cLook! I can see some green leaves!\u201d<\/p>\n
After watering our seeds we talked about the life cycle of plants again and I was super impressed with\u00a0how much the children remembered. We also looked at a chart showing us some of the seeds and bulbs that will flower in Spring!<\/p>\n
The children decided they wanted to plant more seeds which will hopefully grow in our nursery greenhouse. They looked at the chart and chose to plant some dwarf daffodil bulbs instead of seeds.<\/p>\n \u201dI like them because they are pretty and yellow!\u201d<\/p>\n As we opened the packet, we guessed what we thought they would look like!<\/p>\n \u201dI think they will be rectangle!\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI think they are soft and a circle shape!\u201d<\/p>\n The children knew exactly what to do and set about planting the bulbs.

Once they have grown enough we will be planting them in our own pocket garden, designed by the children.<\/p>\n Article 28 The children at Cart Mill are very excited that we have entered the Pocket Garden Design Competition. They have been busy last week planting seeds and learning how to look after them. The children have remembered that, for the seeds to grow, they need watered regularly, especially after the weekend! \u201dThe seeds are getting a … Continue reading Gardening fun in the Greenhouse!<\/span> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>
\nWe then put our new tray on the shelf in the greenhouse, beside all our other planters.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
