At YGK, the Cub class, K3, will experience growing vegetables as part of their food education. They grow summer vegetables and will have a day dedicated to cooking the vegetables that they have grown. Yesterday was the first big day of this project. They each planted their own plant. They were able to choose from a tomato, eggplant or green pepper plant.
First, they put soil in a container. Then, they dug a hole that was big enough to hold the plant. They then placed their plant carefully in the hole and gently covered it’s roots with soil.
The plant needs sunlight, soil and water to grow. So they carefully poured water on their plant, hoping that their plant will grow big and bring them lots of crops.
Their three-month-project has just begun. We can't wait to see their growth!
