Tomato Surprise

On Wednesday 16/03/11 we found about nine Tomato plants growing in our compost bag. It turns out that one of our classmates emptied the bag of Tomato seeds into the bag once we were finished planting. They grew well enough even without water and sunlight.They also were taller then any of our plants. Although these plants were taller they are also grew crooked. They don't stand as strong as ours.They also are not as green as ours because tomato plants have chlorophyll in them and chlorophyll makes the plant green but the plant also needs sunlight to gain colour. And because we have these few extra seedlings we have to decided to experiment we have put one in a cupboard but we are still going to water them, we took one out of the soil and we are now trying to grow it in cotton wool, we are going to leave one in the sunlight but we are not going to water it and we are going to leave one to grow as normal with the rest of ours.

Growing Tomatoes

We started growing tomatoes on the 2nd of March. We all brought in a yogurt carton each and then we filled it with compost and put in either : sweet million, Gardeners delight and money maker seeds. We each put in three seeds of our choice then we covered them with more compost and then with clingfilm. We put each carton on the the table to  be in the sun. Today the 9th of March Ben's seed has started to grow. There are a couple of other peoples seeds starting to grow. We hope to have fruit by the end of June.

We made our Confirmation with Mr.Ruanes Class. In the Church we each wore Alb's. Most of us had readings and some brought the offertory gifts.Mons. Alex Stenson confirmed us at the mass. After the mass we went over to the Pastoral Centre for some Cakes, Biscuits and Drinks. Take a look at the picture of our art board below
