The weeded giant pumpkin bed on June 26, 2011 |
Wow! Who knew that so many pumpkins were going to grow OUTSIDE the fence??? Now, we're busy hoping that the deer and other NJ critters don't eat them! Ms. SW has been in the garden watering, weeding and tackling the fence around the Kindergarten pumpkin beds! Two spider bites and one tetanus shot later, the pumpkins are finally growing! On June 22nd Ms. SW weeded the pumpkin beds for the first time with lots of help from the Summer Enrichment pre K students! There were no yellow flowers in the beds before we weeded. Within 24 hours, there were giant yellow pumpkin flowers blooming! Put on your thinking caps and see if you can figure out WHAT happened to make the change? Here are some pictures taken throughout the watering and weeding process!
