Before we went out to the farm today Farmer Edwin came to the classroom to see the outcome of our terrarium experiment. We found that our terrariums showed that our original hypothesis was correct. Tomatoes need to rot in their own juices to germinate at a higher rate. We took the non-rotten tomato seed to the farm and composted them. Farmer Edwin showed us how to replant our tomato seedlings in pots so we could replant them at home. He said it would take many months before we saw tomatoes.
Today I especially liked looking around the farm to see what changed while we were on break for two weeks. There were pretty yellow wildflowers growing near the compost. They were beautiful. We spotted deer tracks in the onion bed. Was it a male or female deer or both? On the way back from the farm I saw a mini-car that had a sign on the side that said mini from Birmingham. It was a fun farm day.
