Garden Update:
Our plants are doing very well in our indoor garden. There are 2 peppers that are very dark green and about to turn red. Some of the peppers seem to be turning purple. That is a bit surprising to us! There are still some flowers on the pepper plant that will turn into peppers and some baby peppers that are just staring to grow. The carrot tops feel really neat and there are so many we couldn't even count them! The stems are really skinny and for some reason the carrots are only growing on the edges of the garden box. We aren't sure why the seeds in the middle didn't grow. There is one big cucumber that is almost ready to pick. The baby cucumbers look spiky but they are not. We predict that the spiky-looking parts will get covered up when the cucumber starts to grow. There are 10 red tomatoes that are ready to be picked. Some of the tomatoes are orange and lots are green. There are still a few flower buds on the tomato plant that should grow into tomatoes soon.
Tomorrow:
Tomorrow is Fresh Air Friday. We will be heading to Nosehill to see the crocuses before they disappear. It is supposed to be very warm tomorrow but could be chilly first thing in the morning. Please dress in layers so that you can adjust for the temperature. Please also put on sunscreen before you come to school and remember to bring a hat and a water bottle. We will be taking our backpacks with us so you will be able to bring your water and snack with you. Please make sure there aren't any extra things in your backpack that will make it heavy to carry.
