Plant Update-May 11

Posted by Paola
We have finally gotten our first ripe tomatillo! When we get more we might make them into a stew or soup.


One of our tomatoes is starting to turn red!



Most of our tomato plants are a decent size.

Our biggest tomato plant already has buds on it.

We have a small jalenpeno on one of our plants.

Gardening Update - April 26th

Posted by Paola

This week was the first time we got more than than three ripe strawberries on our plant at a time.

The tomato plant we sprayed with lavender now has more tomatoes. We still haven't gotten a ripe one on it.

One of the tomato plants we planted as a seed is now very big.

We have a very big pepper on our pepper plant; but we are still waiting for it to get red.

Introducing Argentina

Argentina is a country in South America. I have some relatives that live there so that is why I decided to write about the country.  Argentina is the second biggest country in its continent.







The capital city of Argentina is Buenos Aires. 36 million people live on Argentina's territory of 1,068,303 miles. Half of its population live in the province of Buenos Aires.

There are seven regions in Argentina. They are The Pampas, The Andes, The Amazon, Iguacu Falls, Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego, and Gran Chaco.

Stay tuned for the future posts about the regions of Argentina and my interviews with people who lived or live in Argentina.

Gardening Update - April 19th

Posted by Paola
We couldn't do much this week since it was raining hard almost all week.

One of the few changes we have seen this week were the buds on the jalapeno plants. We also have lots of red strawberries on our strawberry plant. We  found more buds on the tomatillo plant and the lettuces are bigger.

One of the most important changes in our garden is that our unhealthy tomato plant, thanks to some spraying with lavender oil, is healthy again. The leaves are turning green again. We also bought one more tomato plant.

Well, that is pretty much all. I will give you a post next week. Bye.

Gardening Update - April 12th

The most exciting thing that happened this week was getting our first ripe strawberry! Alex and I split it in half and tried it. It was delicious. 


On the weekend, we transplanted the tomato plants.

We had to cut open the plastic container that held the tomato plants.


Before we added soil to the boxes, we had to fill it with rocks so the water drains slower.



                             Both of our pepper plants have one large pepper on it. I can't wait until it is ripe.



                             We also planted some of the tomatoes and peppers in one pot. In the other pots, we    planted three tomatoes  next to each other.


                             The lettuce we bought at the store are very big now. 



                              We have two tomatillos on the tomatillo plant. Our jalepeno plants are a little bit bigger now. I can't wait until we can get a jalepeno pepper to eat.


Our parsley are a lot bigger now.


                    Our thyme is very delicious.  


           We also have a mint plant and the leaves smell good.


Our rosemary plant is one of my favorite herbs.


My favorite herb that I have tried is oregano. My family used rosemary, thyme, and oregano in the frittata we had for dinner last night.


Bye! We hope you come back and see our next gardening update.
