Planting Time
With weather cooperating, student scientists are getting outside to plant Test Gardens. In Saskatoon, Saskatchewan students planted just days before 30 cm of heavy fresh snow fell. Planting in a scientific experiment was exciting.

Alberta: "We made sure that the bulbs were planted with the pointy side up."

New Brunswick: "We went through the checklist to make sure it was a good spot to plant."

Alaska: "We are planting by drilling holes using a 3" auger."

Massachusetts: "I like how we all got to measure and dig. I'm excited for spring."

New York: "Will they die underground all winter?"

West Virginia: "We explored the inside of a bulb."
