We had such an adventure today with Mrs. Willmore as we planted our herb garden. First we trudged outside in the blizzard to gather buckets of soil!
Next, we dumped in the soil and packed it down REAL good!
After that, the children planted their herbs ever so carefully, and labeled each row. It was a beautiful sight!
The last step before moving the pallet to it's permanent location by the window- watering!
As the children admired their work, Mrs. Willmore, Miss Franz, and I tried to move this heavy pile of dirt packed into a pallet over to the window. FAIL!
The backing came unstapled, the dirt fell out, and the seeds scattered! One of the boys asked, "Why would you do that?????" So we had a discussion about scientists and inventors (and basic gardeners) that need to try and experiment over and over before they get it right. This is the PROCESS of learning- I couldn't have planned that better, right?!?!
Stay tuned as we try again.......
