Glitter Words

Room 28 was given a mini greenhouse  with a seed tray.  We have decided to experiment using this mini greenhouse to sow leek seeds and see how fast will it germinate than compared to sowing seeds outdoors.

Week 1 Thursday 6 May
Here is our mini greenhouse.

Week 2 Wednesday 14 May
When we checked our mini greenhouse this morning we spotted a tiny sprout.  See if you can spot the sprout.

keep checking this post for weekly updates!

Wednesday 21 May
Our leek sprouts  have grown a lot bigger since our last post. The tallest sprout is about 11cm long.  we have about 80% of the seeds sprouted.  During the day time we left the tray out in the sun with the cover over it so it generates more heat.

Monday 26 May
Our leeks have grown a lot since our last update.  The leek seedling are looking very healthy.  We watered it this morning.  We reckon that the seedling are ready to be transplanted into our school garden by the end of next week.

This is a working progress by the students.


week 6 Thursday 12 June

We decided it was time to start transplanting our leek seedlings in to our school garden.  We thought it might be best to plant it in the morning because the weather forecast was rain in the afternoon.  Why plant before rain as the rain settles the seedlings right in.
  
This is just before the transplanting process.
These leeks are officially part of our Rosebank School Garden

 
 Room 28 members are helping to plant our leeks!
Now its ready to water.

  1. Your project is certainly growing well. I noticed your seedlings might need water today and you might want to start finding a place in the garden for you leek seedlings. Well done girls on your greenhouse experiment. X X X X

  2. It certainly looks like you've taken so much care for the leeks, and they also look so healthy, cant wait for the next update on your leeks room 28.

  3. Looks like you've taken care for the leeks ever since you have planted them, to what they look like now just like all the other plants you take care of. Keep on the good work.
