We also talked about plant classification and learned to identify monocots and dicots based on the seed or leaf of a plant: monocots have a one-part seed and parallel veined leaves (corn and other grasses, onions, etc.), while dicot seeds have two parts and their leaves have netted veins (beans, oaks, dandelions, etc.). Here you can see the Green Chillis working on their classification charts. |
Final update for the day: the seeds we started inside over the past couple of weeks have started to spring up beautifully! For example, here are three vivacious moonflower seedlings.
