Towering Sunflowers
Posted 01-14-2008 at 02:50 PM by lulugardens
This morning the kids and I went to a program over at their school about trees - what we need to do to take care of them and all the wonderful ways that they take care of us.
There were some fun crafts and exercises, including planting sunflower seeds. They passed around photos of past year's sunflower projects and I was blown away by how big these sunflowers grew. They were taller than the house they were planted next to!
The kids planted their seeds in a biodegradable pot, meaning the entire pot can just be planted either in the ground or in a larger pot. A great idea, I thought. We'll have to see how our sunflowers do. Maybe in a few months we'll have some towering beauties of our own!
