Seed Planting Update ...

planting seeds update
Back in the beginning of May we planted pumpkin and sunflower seeds (if you missed that post you can see here) and I wanted to give you an update as to how they look now. I am always amazed at how quickly the plants grow. In the picture above I am standing next to some of the sunflowers we planted and most of them are as tall or taller than me already!!

We planted a variety of different sunflower seeds and the colors turned out so beautiful.  We really love the red ones but they are all so pretty.

After the sunflower seeds started to grow in the cups that we planted them in we transplanted the plants into bigger pots and the children helped take care of them by watering them.  We also measured and recorded the growth of the sunflowers.

After the pumpkin seeds started to grow we put them into a garden plot and after a while they really started to vine off and flower.

We have quite a few pumpkins growing and more on the way.  We planted different varieties as well ... jumbo ... jack-lantern ... pie ... and white pumpkins. We are super excited to see what they look like as they grow further.  Once the pumpkins have grown more I will be sure to share what they look like.

If you have not yet done any gardening with your early learners I highly recommend that you give it a try as there is so much the children can learn and observe from it.

Hi Amy ... they are really easy to grow so I hope you do give a try. It's hard for me to believe I am a grandmothers ... it seems just like yesterday that I had my own. My grandchildren are 6 and 3.

Those are awesome! I love planting sunflowers but have only done the 'traditional ones, yours are beautiful! After they have bloomed, we let the head dry out, take estimates as to how many seeds there are as to how tall it grew. Save the seeds, make In bundles of 5,10,15 etc. and save for next year, too! Thanks for sharing. What kind of sunflowers are they anyways?
