....their heights and the height of theirs tree..

The kids have been wonderful planters- extremely enthusiastic and involved. The teachers say that they have been wanting to make a fence for the tree to protect it from goats, but they couldn't as the school was closed for a 5 day break.

Unfortunately during these 5 days, we had a major goat attack. the stupid animals ate up the top of the tree. The strong singapore cherry tree survived the attack, but lost some of its limbs in the process. So, today we decided to make the fence finally, using some thorn bushes and stolen sticks from a construction site.

Today Bhairav, Varun and Yashwant also planted mustard.They are cool as they grow fast, and most of the seeds plant. if you grow them in the shape of a smiley face, you're likely to have smiley shaped garden in a week or two! We tried three different ways of growing them. lets hope this works.

growing mustard in the ground..

Growing mustard in a planter...to prevent ants from getting to the seeds.


growing mustard in cotton...this works because seeds have food supply and initially need only water, sun and the right temperature to grow in.

hiding them in a place where they will get partial sun...
