A few weeks ago Makayla went to the Arboretum on a class field trip. She brought back with her two planted pumpkin seeds. The experiment, the kids planted one seed face up and the other face down. Makayla thought for sure the one planted face up would have roots coming out of the top. She was wrong but the one face up did sprout first. She has been keeping a journal of how much they are growing every day. Between the two pictures is one day, the top picture was taken Saturday morning and the one on the bottom was taken Sunday afternoon.
We also haven't thought passed the ice cream bucket ... not sure what we are going to do with these things during the winter months ... if we can keep them alive : )
you don't need anything past the ice cream bucket they are a vine plant just let them grow out around the bucket on the ground. Try not to touch the vines too much ( with your hands) use a stick after they start growing outwards and pumpkins will start growing where they flower!
