Today K transformed his seed starting house into a greenhouse.
He started by cutting the lid off of the milk carton and then putting in a new piece of paper towel with 5 circles traced onto it. Each circle represents an experiment we are currently working on or will in the future that will be added to our greenhouse.
I picked up a fresh packet of radish seeds yesterday so that our future plantings will be more successful and K placed 4 seeds in the upper corner of the greenhouse. Not on a circle though. Not sure yet what those 4 seeds will be doing out in the unknown but I'm sure we'll find out
soon : )
Today was the day that we compared our Night and Day jars. Each jar had been sealed shut with seeds on moistened paper towel but one was completely covered in foil.
K was very surprised to open up the foil covered jar and find the radish seedlings all the way up to the lid!! You can see above the difference between the light starved seedlings and the ones that had access to light. We have added them into our greenhouse on two of the circular spots.
To complete our greenhouse we put a piece of plastic wrap on top of the milk carton and taped it along one side completely and on the other side we made a tape latch so that we could close it up and still access the seedlings inside.
Can't wait to see what we do next : )
