Winter Garden

Today Tuhi Mai started planting our Winter Garden.

We first planted our separate veggies in a tray. Before we poured the soil we made sure that their we holes in the tray. We poured in the soil and then flatten it with our hands.

Next we pored water on top of the soil so the soil can go down then after that we poked medium holes to put in the veggies. Placing in the veggies were so fun, but really messy. When we placed the vegetables inside the tray we made sure they weren't really close to each other.

We then left the tray to settle down. Mrs. Tofa sent Ali-Jon, Viliami Ma'asi, Tupou, Lesieli, Kue'a, Mason, Ezekiel and I to plant some vegetables in the school's garden. 

We first planted Broccoli, then we planted some carrots and then finally we planted cabbage. We had fun planting the vegetables. Lesieli took some photos and videos while we were planting. The only challenging thing was running to refill our water containers.

We finished up and cleaned our hands before we went back to class.

It was really fun planting our veggies and Tuhi Mai experienced a lot.

Down below is photos we took while planting our Winter Garden.

Winter Garden

Today my writing & reading group discussed, with Mrs. Tofa, about Winter Gardens. We learnt that we can actually plant vegetables during the winter. To plant a winter vegetable we can use the ends of a vegetable and let that settle down and grow. There are many vegetables we can use to make a winter garden. We also discussed the tools we will use to make this winter garden and the props we will need. We read many different articles about Winter gardens and found some facts about growing them. Planting a winter garden sounds so much fun. We can actually save money instead of going to the super market and buying more vegetables and then keep doing the routine again and again.
