Gardening 35 Days

Posted by Paola and Alex

On day thirty- five we bought a couple new plants!  We got a new strawberry plant, a mint plant, a tomatillo, and some jalapeno plants. The day's project was to transplant the new plants.

First we put some rocks in the bottom of the boxes. This helped with making the soil drain slower. 

Then, we filled the boxes with soil.

After that, Alex transplanted some of the jalapeno plants. He dug three evenly spaced  holes in a soil
box. Then, he pulled the jalapeno plants up by the middle and dropped them in a hole. Finally, he buried the roots and watered the plants.

I also helped with transplanting some of the jalapenos. 

When they were buried in the ground, I smoothened out the soil and watered the plants.

I planted the tomatillo in a planting box. I had to squeeze the roots to loosen them.

 Then, I placed the tomatillo  in the ground and pushed soil around it.

We also  got our first flower on the pepper plants!

There are thirteen strawberries on the the strawberry plant. All of them are green. We also have four flowers and one bud on the plant.

Most of the beans our dead. We are going to plant new ones in their places. Our seedlings in our miniature greenhouses are growing but they are not ready to be transplanted yet.
