Bees, Please...


Our Brassica plants have been growing so fast that they're now ready to be pollinated! We learned about the importance of flowers today and got to be the bees, moving from blossom to blossom moving the pollen around. Now we'll continue to watch as the flowers mature and the pistil grows longer. We should start to see the 'fruit' or the seed pod in a few days. This has been a fascinating discovery!




This is Silas as he looks for any changes to his plant. It's growing taller every day and has started to make some buds that will be opening up as flowers pretty soon. We've predicted the color of the blossoms as maybe pink or yellow.
