Growing Corn

So, this term Emma is learnign all about farms and the various products that come from farms. The class had to pick their favourite fruit or vegetable and show it to the lcass. They also had to do a presentation on their favourite item for show and tell. Emma's presentation went quite well - she chose corn. I thought it might be interesting and fun for her if we tried to grow some corn at home. So, I bought some seeds and set about germinating them. Here is our progress so far:

Day 1

Day 1 - our terrarium on the windowsill



Day 3

Day 4

Day 5

Day 6

Day 8

Day 10

So now we are going to transplant them into a raised garden bed outside. Hopefully they will survive! I am a bit worried as it's not really corn growing season, but here goes! Wish us luck! We will keep you posted.
