28 March
I have a lot to write about this week!
I want to write a report about agriculture. Agriculture is all about growing plants and raising animals for food.
To learn more about plants, we planted some seeds. I planted one in a small pot. I gave it plenty of water, and it sprouted(发芽) a few days later. Soon, it grew a stem and a leaf.
Now, something new is growing at the top of the stem. It’s a flower bud(花蕾). It will open up and turn into a flower. Later, the flower will become a head(头状花序), and the head will turn into seeds.
I’m going to look after my plant carefully. I’ll put the pot in the yard. There, it can get some sunshine. I’ll cover it when the weather is cold.
