Planting Peas

Digging potting mix out of the bag.

Continuing our Gardening topic Room 8 have planted some pea seeds.  They could choose from either Sugarsnap peas or Snow peas.

First we filled our plastic cup with potting mix.  We are using plastic cups so that we can watch the seeds germinating.

Carefully planting the seeds.

Next we planted our seeds.  We put one seed down the side of the cup so we could see it.  We could spread the other seeds around the cup.
We had to make sure our seeds were covered with potting mix.

Potatoes

To plant the potatoes we had to fill our buckets with soil and compost - not right to the top but almost, and them put our sprouting potato in our bucket and cover it like it's in bed.  Then let it grow before you eat it.
