| The students planted other kinds of vegetables such beets,
onions, lettuce, and parsley among others. After months of waiting, the
vegetables in the garden are ready to be picked. In the spring the
students will plant tomatoes, squash, black-eyed peas, bell peppers, and
corn. Planting a garden helps students relate to how plants grow.
It is also one of the Texas Education Agency TEKS
Objectives for grades Kindergarten through five. See the web site
for additional information on planting and caring for a vegetable garden.

The garden club members discovered also while investigating plant growth
that vegetables are healthy and nutritious to eat. We eat many parts of
the plant for our meals. For more information on plant parts that
we eat visit cool
science for curious kids. |
