100 Days of Science #80- Planting an Herb Garden

We try to plant something from seed each spring and this year we chose to try our hand at growing an herb garden.  



I just knew that would be a perfect edition to our 100 Days of Science Challenge!


Each boy picked one  packet and began planting the seeds in a few small plastic cups; making sure to label what they were planting.






Once they were all planted we gave them a good watering and then brought them inside to protect them from our cool nights.


We covered the tray with cling wrap to make our own little greenhouse and waited a few weeks to peek inside and see how they were doing.




Hopefully we'll be enjoying the fruits of our labor soon.

    1. Thanks! It is pretty neat to think what grows from just one tiny seed.

    1. We've grow lima beans a few times; they are so satisfying since they grow so nice and big so quickly.
