__**Welcome to my fabulous Garden journal wiki!!!**__ **E**very Tuesday, the Amigos 6th grade went to the King/Amigos city Sprouts Garden.We did a lot of interesting activities.Each Tuesday there were four groups and each group had a job to do in the garden. For example, my first job was" Maintenance". Our job was to water some plants and yank out some weeds.Other Tuesdays our jobs were compost which was to find

decomposer organisms and draw them. Also, to turn the compost like salad; all the bottom waste came to the top. Another job is "harvestesting". In this job we can make food. For example, one time we made tea, with lavender leaves .Another job is" biologist".We had to find producers and you write down on a paper what the producersjob is in the garden ecosystem.This is what my class did in the garden every Tuesday. GARDEN JOURNALS This is my 3rd Garden Journal, this Tuesday in the garden my group and I were participating in the group biologists. This Tuesday I analyzed the Garden from different angles. My friends and I looked around the garden for fungus or a trace that an insect left behind. I remember seeing fungus on a dead log. I recall seeing a leaf munched up by a caterpillar. I remember tasting the barbecued potatoes my classmates made in the harvesting group. I can’t wait to go back to the garden next year.



This is my 1st Garden Journal; this Tuesday my group and I were Maintenance. While being in the group Maintenance we pulled out weeds and helped plant seeds for next years spring. We also, watered the plants. We also digged a hole. Because we had to place dead plant matter into the hole and that was going give nutrients to the soil. I will remember the rough sense of the soil while planting the seeds and the smooth touch of the soil while digging the hole. I had a really fun time at the garden with my classmates. This is my 4th Garden Journal, this Tuesday I participated in the group harvesters. In this group we made polenta. Polenta is a kind of soup. In the process of making polenta, my friends and me cut tomatoes into little squares. We grinded corn, because basically the polenta is corn with spices. The spices that we used to make the polenta tastier were sage, salt, pepper and chives. I had lots of fun and I believe I am getting better working as a group.

Today in the garden my group and I were biologists. It was really fun. We had to pick a producer and a consumer and jot down what there jobs were in the garden ecosystem. We picked a bee as a producerand a really pretty flower. That’s me and my group did today in the garden. This time in the garden my group and I were harvesters. Today we cooked hummus, sun choke hummus. The ingredients were cumin, chives, and sesame seed butter. We had to peel the sun choke like an orange. Then we smashed the sun chokes and placed them in a bowl. We squeezed lemon juice in the bowl to mix them up together. Booklover333 cut the bread to have it with the hummus. Then we passed them out to the class.
