Important information as well as challenge questions & activities to be explored….

Last week we studied the seed pods and seeds of the Poningo Greens plant.

This week we will observe and take notes on their metamorphosis into actual seedlings.

Remember that these seedlings come from seeds that came from tiny yellow flowers in April and May of this year!

Take a close look at the photo of the seedlings, even better go to the Knapp House Colonial & Indigenous Garden and find the Poningo Greens seedlings in one of the raised bed units.

How many initial leaves does each plant have?

What is their shape?

Now try & draw several Poningo Green seedlings. Have Fun!!
