September in our Garden!!!

We have been super busy in our garden this month! Our first week we got to plant seeds in a neat planter box that will show the roots as our plants grow!
Tori is getting to be a planting pro!
Then we got to help gather seeds that we will then use to plant next year. Our first seed collection- tomatoes. Tori and Garrett squeezed out as many seeds as they could!
Then they added a bunch of water to help wash the seeds off!
Draining the water while trying to keep all the seeds in our container! Then they will get to sit out and dry for a bit!
Then we got to harvest other seeds right from the plants!
These two thought it was so fun trying to find all the seeds!
Last week we got to make field journals!
Looking good guys!
Then to learn about some new plants and add that into our field journals! 
I love that everything is so hands on! 
Tonight we learned about gourds. First order of business, head outside to find a few gourds!
Then we came back inside to make some gourd art!
Tori was in her element!
Garrett had a blast as well!
Yay- such a super cute Halloween Chicken Gourd!
Garrett was pretty proud of his!
Since we were the only family there, Tori got to make as much gourd art as she wanted! She was in heaven!!!
We keep thinking they will run out of things for us to do- but there is always a new adventure each week! The Hilltop Garden is amazing!!!
