School WS

Friday, I got my school WS planted out. The kids lost their interest pretty quickly. Only one student helped me with this. I think that if I had planned better they would have had more interest. I am not beating myself up though, it was new for me too. The problem with WS for school is that everything blooms while we're on summer break. I thought about starting a pumpkin patch instead of the flowers, but if I do it will have to wait until next year so I can have time to plan. Also, I decided not to have the title "math club" for whatever it is I plan.

For the WS, we only had about 10 plants survive. I brought home four or five of the bottles. The custodians aren't going to water the bed while we're gone and I couldn't just leave those babies to their doom. So, it makes no sense, but I planted the cantaloupe, chives, and grape tomato in my flower bed. I'm going to plant the Cleome in my side bed where its mother was but didn't come back. That grape tomato was small, but looked healthy. About an hour after I got it in the ground, it shrivelled up. I don't have a clue what that is all about.

Oh! I almost forgot about the baby carrots at school. We had the nicest plant. It got big, but we didn't have anywhere prepared to put it so I got a pot and the carrots still loved it. Well. . . I totally spaced and forgot to water them. Everything in the bottles were fine, but the carrots dried up. I just didn't think about it after being spoiled by all the rain we had been getting. I went ahead and planted them in the school garden, but don't have much hope.
