Planting Time!

Last class we divided the space where we were going to plant. This class what we did was choose the  plants for each space . We decided that the planting date was going to be the 22 of April (yesterday), as planed. We choseApril 22 because it was Earth Day so planting this day would show our school that we care for it. Our group had several different plants such as: Tomatoes, Aloe Vera, Sweet Peppers, and Oregano, among others. On the planting day, however, we had to change the distribution of the plants because, as a class, we came up to the conclusion that if the plants that needed less water were put together and the ones that needed much water were put together it would be easier to grow them and take care of them. 

Our group decided to take the ones with less water needed first of all because no one wanted them and second because they needed less care so we did not have to go every day down to the garden to take care of them. We ended up with the following plants one rosemary, one thyme, one sure, two oregano, and three aloe vera. Mr Wilkinson, Alieu , and Amadou  helped us plant all our plants in our section.

I think we did a good job as a group because all of us planted, all of us helped and all of us have the chance now to admire the garden. We have been working for 4 months in this garden and every time we go down I can see a big progress and I know that in a couple of years this garden will be bigger and will produce enough food that the hall school can eat from it. I hope that by the end of this year there will be vegetables so we can make sure the plants will be able to survive in the summer. I think as a class we did a great job and I hope it continues like this until the end of the year and next year. We also put a picture of us working in the garden for something called faces of climate change that is a web page where people put there pictures and share in witch way they helped the earth.
