Sara: Carrots grow under ground. They need rain, soil and sun. Squash grows just like carrots they grow underground and rise up. Cauliflower grows like broccoli - you can either buy seeds or you can go to a plant nursery and dig a hole in the ground and put the plant in the ground and put the soil over the plant and then put a cage on it.
Amber: You need to eat vegetables & to plant a good garden. Vegetables are good for you. You plant a good garden with soil & sun & water. We want to make a good garden so we can have more vegetables to eat. Today I ate a cherry tomato and a peach from the Spurs Garden. One thing I learned today that you have to plant a tomato plant 2 feet away from other plants. You have to make sure that there are no caterpillars or worms eating your plants.
Clea & Joy: We went to the San Antonio Food Bank and went to visit its garden. We learned how to plant different things that will go into our garden. We learned how to keep our garden alive and how to ward off the dangerous bugs. We learned how to dig the dirt for our plants. We then went to the Food Bank part and saw the warehouse where they sort and keep the food. We learned how they send out the food to different places. At the end we went home knowing how to maintain our garden and how Haven get's its food.
The Boys: Today we learned that growing plants is more than just watering them. They need sun, nutrients, water and carbon dioxide and that you shuld not let it get damaged by bugs and animals and insects.
It takes gentle care and it takes some time and you just have to do what you need to do to let it grow. And you need to take care of it like you are supposed to do.
We also got to take a tour of the San Antonio Food Bank. Here we are!
Thank you San Antonio Food Bank for teaching us about plants, gardening, and nutrition!
