Kids Garden Month 

I really want to have a big garden where I can grow all different kinds of fruits, vegetables and especially flowers. Flowers are my favorite! Right now I have a garden bed and my dog Raven loves to help me with it! We dig together and plant wildflowers but I would love my own herb and vegetable garden too so I could share everything I grow!

I want lots of pumpkins in my garden for carving on Halloween. I want my favorite foods to grow in my dream garden, like strawberries, blackberries, and corn! I want flowers in my dream garden because they are beautiful!

I love flowers and cauliflower!

Her name is BreeAnna. She learned by her parents and she researched with google. She loves growing cucumbers and making them into pickles. and her favorite thing is eating from her garden.

My grandfather is someone i know who keeps a garden and is very proud about it. As of what he told me on why he gardens, is because it makes him happy. “Gardening to me is one of my favorite hobbies, it keeps me going. It’s amazing to watch overtime the plants grow knowing I’m taking care of it.” He also explained that a reason he loves to garden is because of the produce he plants such as tomatoes, basil, green onions, etc. “I always plant extra to pass out fresh produce to family or the neighbors”, he said. For my grandfather growing up, his mother, my great grandmother, was a big cook. She loved cooking and baking for everyone. He explained that she was the one who always had such a big garden of produce so she can just go n the backyard pick her own ingredients and start cooking with them. “Growing up as a little boy i was inspired to have my own garden when i get older, as a little kid I didn’t see much to a garden but as i got older i understood more. I love having my own organic fresh produce.” My great grandmother is the one who taught my grandfather how to take care of a garden and why it’s so nice and peaceful to have one. “It saves you a lot of money having your own garden, I’m so glad i have my own and my mother taught me how to maintain one.”

Me: Hi everyone! Today, I’m here with Ms. Donna, our local gardener who’s a caretaker at Morrisville Town Hall Garden. Let’s welcome Ms. Donna! What do you like about gardening Ms. Donna?
Ms. D: The end result, like seeing live things that come out of the ground and being able to donate them.
Me: Who is your favorite pollinator?
Ms. D: Bees, after all, they work the hardest.
Me: What is your favorite plant to garden?
Ms. D: Shallots and Garlic, because they don’t need much maintenance.
Me: Who inspired or taught you to garden?
Ms. D: My grandfather. He grew up on a farm, so wherever he lived, he planted some vegetables and flowers.
Me: What do you think is the most important thing that gardeners, future or current, should know? Ms. D: Maybe getting information, because global warming is changing the environment a lot and plants and humans have to adapt to it.
Me: Why do you garden?
Ms. D: As everything grown here’s sent to Saint Dorcas Food Pantry, which is similar to a grocery store for less fortunate, and I love helping people.

Honey bees are small and very pretty creatures. I really enjoy watching them fly around from flower to flower, collecting nectar and pollinating the plants as they do. One of my favorite facts about them is that they dance to communicate. It sounds really silly and it’s exactly why I love that fact.

I love bumble bees because they pollinate all the foods we eat! I like their colors too. I learned they have 5 eyes! Wow

Beep-boop lollipop drop. I like sugar gliders because they basically fly around all day eating sugar. Sugar gliders can fly/glide almost 50 feet! They also live in large colonies of 20-40 sugar gliders.

Hello my name is Elena and I am ten years old. I took some soil from a hole I was digging and I did a experiment to see what type of soil I had. This is how I did my experiment:

1. I emptied my bucket with soil up to half of the bucket.

2. The next day I poured water into the bucket.

3. I left the bucket overnight.

4. The next day I looked at the bucket. There were three layers: lots of sandy soil in the bottom, a tiny bit of silty soil, and a tiny bit of clay soil. Over all these layers was dirty water with a bit of sticks, and other dirty stuff.

There was lots of sandy soil so it means that I have mostly sandy soil in my garden and backyard.

I also did another kind of experiment.

1. I took some soil from a soil castle close to one of my backyard parks and tried to make a ball. I could not. The soil slipped back into the ground and a bit stayed in the palm of my hand but not as a ball. It was thickly flat. So this meant that I had sandy soil in most of my backyard.

2. I tried to make a ball with some soil that was quite wet and muddy. I was able to make a kind of ball, but once or twice it very much crumbled, or some part would fall back into the ground.

This still meant I had sandy soil, but it could become a bit muddily hard or quite soft. So all this meant that I had sandy soil in most of my backyard. But there are some parts that are quite like clay. For example, in the very edge of my garden, very close to my backyard fence, there is some part that is hard and when it rains a lot this part becomes into a puddle and it stays a puddle for one, two, or three days, but only if it has rained a lot. So this means that that were puddle part is located it is very much clay soil. Also, close to a huge flower plant the soil is also very hard but I am sure this is so because the huge flower plant has very big roots, puts a lot of weight to the ground, and also because some huge tall weeds are growing at its base and so all this makes that ground very strong, hard, and sturdy.

And now I am going to tell you which fruits, vegetables, and flowers grow best in sandy soil. Vegetables: Carrots Radishes Potatoes Sweet Potatoes Oregan0 Lettuce
Fruits: Strawberries Melons(like cantaloupe, watermelon)
Flowers: Lavender Zinnias Cosmos Marigolds

And so these are the most common vegetables, fruits, and flowers that do well in sandy soil. Good-bye.

Sunflower lotion is used after shower and bath. It is good because it is a good food oil sources and is medicine with no dye.

We mixed aloe with rosemary from our garden and some mint. We will call it Hair Helper.

I would create a Hair Growth oil using Aloe Vera, Hibiscus, and Asian Ginseng. This product would help strengthen hair and make it go from thick to thin.
