WEEK 4: Protect and Preserve
DAY 2: PROTECTING OUR OWN
Activity 2: A Protective Plant [4 points]
There are concerns about the water quality of some of the rivers, streams and oceans in and around New Zealand. Some people have suggested that we plant flowers and plants on the banks of our most polluted rivers to stop the spread of the pollution. Apparently, the plants can act as filters, absorbing some of the chemicals (pollutants) that are moving across the land, on their way to the river.
Planting can be a lot of fun! Have you ever planted a garden? Aronui and I are going to make our very own edible garden this year. We are going to plant a number of veggies, fruits and herbs, including mint, coriander, parsley, lemongrass, onions, tomatoes, beans, zucchinis, kumara and strawberries. Yum! If you could plant an edible garden what would you plant in it?
On your blog list 10 veggies, fruits, or herbs that you would plant in your garden.
- Lemon
- Apricot
- Celery
- Brussel Sprouts
- Cherries
- Strawberries
- Carrots
- Spinach
- Potatoes
- Cilantro (Herb)
Kumusta Lyan!
ReplyDeleteWell done on completing another activity. :)
You've listed a great variety of fruit and vegetables there. Strawberries would be on my list too, and nectarines - YUM! :) What's your favourite fruit?
At the house I used to live in (I moved into a new house yesterday) there was a big garden where my flatmates tried to grow some vegetables. They managed to grow potatoes, but that was about it. :/
What kinds of meals do you think you'd make with the veggies you grown in your garden?
Blog ya later!

Hey Mikey thank you again for your lovely comment, my favourite fruit is Mangos because it is sweet and sour at the same time. My mum and I planted spinach, grapes, pumpkins, raspberries, apricots and cherry tomatoes in our garden and they are in full bloom. I think that I would be able salad and that's probably all because I don't really know many meals/recipes. Anyways thank you again for your lovely comment, have a great night!
