We pollinated our plants!

Ashley pollinated her brassica rapa blossoms by helping her little pollinator bee go from blossom to blossom to collect and move the pollen around. We learned that each pistil must receive pollen from a different blossom in order to pollinate. Now we just watch to see the blossoms die away and the pistil grow larger!
Each morning we check our plants to see what changes have happened. We also water them and make sure they're getting the necessary light.
