Water Wise!

Today we visited a water wise garden. This is a garden where the plants need little or no watering to survive. They get most of what they need from the rainfall. That is so cool because it doesn't rain very often. I thought it would be like a rock garden but it was green and pretty and even had a fountain. My favorite plants were the Blanket Flowers. They look  a field of pinkish butterflies. Some other kinds of plants are Kangaroo Paw, English Lavender, Rosemary and Giant Feather Grass. I thought that would look like giant feathers It just looks like tall fluffy grass.

Container Garden!

Green Peppers

Potatoes

Green Onions

This summer we are growing vegetables in our kitchen. We live in an apartment so we can't plant outside. We already have onions, peppers and potatoes growing. I want to plant tomatoes, carrots and especially cucumbers too. We move the plants outside during the day sometimes. They get so much bigger it seems like I could watch them grow but I watch and haven't seen it yet. They grow much faster in the sun because in the sun they can make their food.

It would be awesome if I could make my own food like a plant. I can't wait to taste what our veggies taste like.
