Les plantes

Last week we made some flower pots and planted some seeds. We will be keeping track each day of our seeds' growth, like scientists! Here are the photo directions for if you want to do some planting at home:
What you need: 1/2 sheet of newspaper, masking tape and a pop can.

Fold the 1/2 sheet of newspaper into thirds the long way.

Roll the newspaper around the popcan tightly. Leave a bit of paper hanging out the end.

Fold the paper around the bottom in.

Ask a friend to tape the bottom for you while you hold it.

Tape the seam on the side.

Remove the popcan et VOILA, a biodegradable flower pot! 
Here are our pots with plants. We planted marigolds (les soucis), beans (les haricots) and tomatoes (les tomates).
