Grade 7 plants being sold in the International Day:

In the International Day, we were able to sell many plants. Everyone appreciated what we did to grow these plants. Ms. Carly, the Sixth Grade Math teacher, said, "I have been working here for 14 years but I never saw something impressing like this before." Mr. Ulfers, the Head of School also came and bought plants from our booth. We are very thankful to everyone who did so much hard-work to grow the plants. Here are some pictures that Jae-Hee's mom took when we (I, Jae-Hee and Xinyi) were in the booth/stall:-

Our Progress in Growing-Mckayla Ella Madison Fay (FEMM)

Radishes and Rosemary

Some of the radishes in the ground

These are all the plants that have grown to adulthood and have been harvested by Fay Ella Madison and Mckayla

Radishes, on May 28th we harvested at least 10 Radishes from our garden outside. During our growing process we planted them in small containers transferred them to big pots and then outside onto our plot of land. We also left some radishes inside to test the difference. After a few weeks our radishes had grown, but we noticed something. There were chunks taken out of the radishes outside. After a while we came to the conclusion that the turtle that lives in the lake was eating them. There was nothing we could really do but transfer the okay ones into pots and put them in the greenhouse. Finally today 90% of the radishes were harvest ready while the rest were put in the lake because they were dead or eaten. We took them inside and cleaned them off and cut the leaves down.

These were just a few of the radishes that were eaten

This is Fay cutting off the roots and dead leaves

Rosemary on May 28th we harvested our rosemary plants and got them ready for drying and crushing. We will then package the crushed rosemary for selling.
