Today was Year Book Picture Day so we did an activity that wouldn't get our nice clothes too dirty. Garden Club members love to get down and get dirty!!
During today's activity, we learned about helping plants by adding fertilizer. We learned about the 3 numbers that are on fertilizer packing. The first is N for Nitrogen (good for plant growth). The second is P for Phosphorus (helps roots grow, flowers bloom, fruit production). The third number is K for Potassium (good for helping plants withstand various stresses, such as heat, cold, pests, and diseases). We then took a Dixie Cup partially filled with an all purpose fertilizer and walked about school sprinkling fertilizer around the base of the plants. We look forward to seeing the plants respond to our TLC.
