Friday, May 11, 2007 - Getting our hands dirty
Yesterday we planted seeds to keep inside and give them a head start
 This is the Teaching tank, in it we planted some carrots so we can watch them grow and a pumpkin and tomato seed as well.
 We also planeted some broccoli, pumpkin, green beans, sunflowers, and tomatoes to get them started sooner.
   
One blessing said, "This is more fun than just playing!" I liked that one!
And then today we went to the Institute of Arctic Biology Research Greenhouse at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.  We saw some interesting tropical plants that they study and keep data on but the most interesting were the carnivorous plants seen here:
This one is commonly called cobra lily
 
This is the famous venus flytrap
This one is an Alaskan carnivorous plant, it is very small and red, grows in boggy areas:
Well, that was our past two days with plants and seeds, Oh, yeah, they transplanted marigolds as well,
  
There, that was our day!! All done, we came home with take and bake pizza and are watching Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
May the Lord find us faithful.
