Yesterday was day twenty one, and we saw many changes. I am going to tell you about them.
We saw eight flowers on the strawberry plant. I just can't wait until those flowers start turning into strawberries.
On the tomato plant we have three flowers that are in full bloom. We also have three buds on the tomato plant.
Every day Alex, Mom or I notice differences in the plants, Alex and I write it down in our journal. At the top of the page, we write which day it is since we got the plants.
This is how the inside of my plant journal looks like. We made the journals from writing paper and construction paper. I called my journal, "My Plant Journal."
Next week's project is to transplant the beans in the miniature greenhouse.
Yesterday we conducted an experiment. Above are all the tools we needed.
First we had to see how much construction paper we needed to wrap around a glass jar.
Next, we filled the jars with soil.
We wrapped the construction paper around the glass jars.
We also cut a window in the paper so you can see the soil.
Lastly, we planted a bean at the side of the jar so you can see it and we wrapped a rubber band around the jar to seal the window tight. In the picture above is my jar.
Now you might be able to tell that the experiment is to see how the roots of plants grow.
I hope you see the post next week about transplanting the beans. Bye! See you guys later. Be sure to check out our other posts about our plants!

Keep up the good work. :-) Be careful when you transplant the beans, the tend to resent having their roots disturbed and may die. I've never had much luck transplanting bean plants, but maybe you'll be luckier than I have been.
Keep up the good work. YOu must live in warm country. It is still to cold to plant outside yet. We did find our first sign of spring tho. The crocus are up :)
All but two of our beans have died. We will be lucky if at least one will survive. If not, we will plant new seeds. I have learned to plant beans in a big pot to begin with.
Since we live in Texas, it is boiling hot in the summer. We have to plant our plants in early spring so young ones don't die in the heat.
I hope you both have good luck gardening this year, bye!
