Time to Start Thinking About Mother’s Day

March 9, 2015 by carrberrycreations Leave a Comment

Every year I plant something for Mothers on Mother’s Day, but I always forget to do it soon enough. So I usually end up sending home little shoots of something unrecognizable as a flower… or sometimes even worse, little buckets of dirt with a label promising that someday they might be something. One year over a long weekend I actually swapped my dirt filled buckets with transplanted beautiful blooms I bought at the hardware store. So bad I know.

This year I am determined to have blooms or at least near blooms by Mother’s Day without cheating. I saved flower seed packets from last year, looked on the back to see how long it should be until they blooms, discovered I had saved the packets for nothing because they only tell you when they sprout, so I looked it up online and found the following information for us all. So mark your calendars:
Marigolds – 45 Days to flowers – plant by March 28th
Zinnias – 62 Days to Flowers – Plant by March 10th

Or if you are interested I’m my windowsill herb garden project you can read about it here:

Chives – 60 Days to harvest – Plant by March 12th
Rosemary – 42 Days to Harvest – Plant by March 30th (Fully grown these are very large – So I
actually would recommend planting Mid April)
Basil – 42 Days to Harvest – Plant by March 30th
Parsley – 70-90 Days to Harvest – Plant Now
Lavender – 126 – 161 Days to Harvest – Plant Now

I found these 2 sites to be very helpful in locating this information.
VeggieHarvest.com
Almanac.com

They both have loads of information and lots of different plants you may choose to grow in your classroom this year.

Happy planting!

One of my favorite ways to connect with students i One of my favorite ways to connect with students is through a handwritten note. I print a set of these at the beginning of the year, address one to each student, and add a stamp. Each week during the school year I add a personal note to 2-3 cards and drop it in the mail. Once I have sent a card I print a new set and start again. It is such an easy way to encourage students. Have you tried this before?
