Waiting for last one! MK # 65,66,70,71

Sprouting Egg Carton Garden

According to MK # 65, 66, 70 and 71:

We missed checking our plants on day 8. On day 9 we were very pleased to see all their pots sprouting accept for one. 

Infact MK # 65 even had all three seeds sprouting in one pot ! We surely have a happy sprouter there. :)

MK # 70 who is the youngest sprouter among the four of us, has a tiny sprout in one. Though MK # 70 is only 3 years old, still says, "I want to win!" and is anxiously waiting for more seeds to sprout.  

aaaaaawwwww!!!

Me too! MK # 12

MK # 12 says:

Here is our update.  We had growth beginning on the 5th day and today, the 9th day, we have 1 pot with three stalks and 1 pot with 1 stalk.  We watered them from the top, but from a spray bottle so that it was gentle.

Congratulations !

Late, yet Sprouting ! MK # 13

It's All About the Care

MK # 13 proved that having the seeds sprout is all about care and the proper environment and not just planting on the right date. 


MK # 13 planted a day late but saw their first sprouts on the 6th day!

Congratulations !

Sprouting with Fertilizers MK 3 27,28

Learning About Fertilizers

MK # 27 and 28 have experience with different fertilizers and they included it in their sprouting contest.

Here's what they had to share:

Day 1

The kids planted their seeds and fertilized each of their plants with two different types of fertilizer.  The plants (plant 1)with the numbered markers were fertilized with a natural kelp (seaweed fertilizer) and the plants without the number markers were fertilized with an organic fish emulsion (we will call these plant 2 insha'allah).

They have been lightly watering the plants everyday just to keep the soil moist.

  

Day 5

The plants were placed by the window under a ceiling vent with indirect sunlight.  The plants didn't sprout until day 5 and measured a 1/2 cm in height.

Day 8 

The plants had grown significantly and #28 (plant 1) still has only one sprout, but is the largest at 3 1/2 cm (this is the one fertilized with kelp) and plant 2 has two sprouts, the tallest of which is 2 1/2 cm (this is the one fertilized with the fish emulsion).  Also on day 8, #27 had also seen a large spurt in growth.  Plant 1 has two sprouts, and the tallest measures 2 1/2 cm and plant 2 also has two sprouts that appear very healthy and strong and the tallest of which is 3cm.

The kids were so excited this morning to see how much their plants had grown in a short period.  Insha'allah they will continue to monitor the growth and report back.

Jazaki'allahu khayran for this fun and educational contest!

RCHE Spring Sprout team:

First Sprouts Already! MK # 18,19,20

Find out what

 MK # 18, MK #19 and MK #20

did?

Read below.......

Mother of MK # 18, MK #19 and MK #20 sent the following picture and wrote:

This was taken on the first day of planting. mk# 18, mk #19 and mk #20 have just finished planting their seeds. I placed the plant pots in a loaf pan and my little sprouters watered the seeds from the bottom (pouring water into the pan and not directly on top of the soil). I then covered the pan with cling wrap and put it on top of the fridge. This was done to give the seeds the warmth and humidity they needed to soften and crack open. 

Everyone is super excited! 

4 days later!

Here is a picture of our plant pots on day 4. As you can see, our seeds have sprouted and we see tiny seedlings growing! yay!

I forgot to put the white sticks into the pots, so from left to right you will see the plant pots of mk # 20, mk # 19 and mk # 18.

GREAT JOB MK # 18, MK #19 and MK #20!

Looks like many of us will be covering ours with cling wrap too now!
