Botany

We just began Apologia's Exploring Creation with Botany course and are really enjoying it! Our first big project was building a light hut so we could grow some seeds. Here is our light box building project (we had several sick kids, so school was done in pjs all week if at all).






We planted our seeds a week ago and kept peeking in at them. Here they are a week later!
Broccoli, lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, zucchini and a green onion! Now to prepare the garden!

  2. We used pellets like these, except they are in a sort of netting so you don't need pots. http://www.burpee.com/seed-starting/burpee-super-growing-pellets-prod001253.html?catId=cat100006&trail=
    the kids loved pouring the warm water on them and watching them expand dramatically!
