Planting Seeds to prepare for Summer

Planting Bulbs in Containers

Bore holes in the container. If you didn’t have holes on the bottom of the pot the water would not be able to get out. Soon the pot would be full of water  nd the flowers would die.Before you put down the soil you  put in about three handfuls of stones.The stones are for preventing the soil blocking the holes to allow the water to get out. Then you put in soil and compost. Place a bulb of any sort maybe lilies, irises or gladidii on top of the soil. Finally water the bulbs and put them in a sheltered place. by Jason

Planting Sunflowers

Monday 4th March. Today we planted sunflowers seeds in pots. After planting the seeds we put them inside a plastic bag and placed them on the windowsill in the classroom. Here they were warm and dark. We sprayed water on them every other day.

Planting Sweet Pea

We planted sweet pea seeds on Monday 11^th March. We planted them in peat pots. We planted then in peat pots because we don’t want to disturb the seedlings when we transplant them. We planted lots in case some of them do not grow. We planted six varieties of sweetpea and hope to have different shapes, sizes, smells and colours. by Joy and Amanda.
