In the UK, the spicy lettuce we know as “arugula” is referred to as “rocket.” (I know. So much cooler than “arugula.”)
The mature plant, which we eat, is dark green.
Here are two containers of micro arugula. The sprouts are surprisingly yellow…
The Purple Radish sprouted, but so did the mold. There may even be a little critter in the bottom photo.
The students sowed their first seeds! They planted peppercress and cilantro (which is also know as coriander). They recorded data in their science observation sheets.
Y53 may not be able to plant outside but we managed to grow mushrooms and celery; our lemon tree continues to grow; and a new avocado tree is in the works. So proud of this class!

Gherkin!
We had to get rid of four plants — the big gherkin and cucumber, the tomato and eggplant. They went outsides to try their luck with the polinators there, as they were not bearing any fruit.
The last indoor plant is the bell pepper. See its flowers?
We are bringing it outside now, so maybe there will be fruit come harvest time.
These four precious babies are the results of two months of tlc. I almost don’t want to eat them…
Pickle Baby!
After a long wait, the gherkin produced female flowers. These are the flowers that have miniature cucumbers right behind the flower. No female flower, no fruit!
