Your child took home a small seed starter container, including a plastic container, pellet and pumpkin seed. Have fun tending to your future pumpkin together! Here is how to get started:

2. Push seed into the center of the pellet. Water when the pellet turns light brown.
3. To harden off plants, place outside in shade for several days (bring plants in at night). Gradually expose to full sunlight.
4. To transplant, dig holes deep enough to cover top of pellets Gently firm soil around the pellet, and water.
What fun ways will support your child in observing the life cycle of this plant? Will your child journal about the changes they see each day? Draw or take pictures? Measure the plant's growth? We'd love to see what you all discover together!
Thank you so much for helping this day feel successful!
Love, Gaby

Delete"I like that my mom came to the pumpkin patch and she helped all of us, but not just my mom, but I still just liked the field trip very much even if I was with a different mom. I really liked Tomas coming with me on the car ride and back. I also wanted to come back to the pumpkin patch." From Eli
