I'm Back!!

 Hi, everyone this is jasmine and i finally got my internet back on so I'm back. Today, we watered everything in the garden. We also had some vlunteers to come along and help us. It was this nice lady who works at the school, Ms. Thompson, with her 2 nephews : Jonathan and Jeremiah. They were great helpers. We found out that they had a garden as well.

This is the corn plant with the Aphids but you can hardly see them because they are so small.

I found out something interesting about the corn plants. We found out that there were little green bugs with black legs they were called Aphids. They suck the juices right out of the stem. But, there were three types of bugs: Ants (both little and big), Lady bugs and the Aphids. The lady bugs helped us by feeding on to the aphids so that they wouldn't suck the juice. The Ants were actually like farmers, they wait until the Aphids poop or pee and suck on it. It is actually kind of sweet to them. Even though, you cant see it but Mr. Mulkulski told us that.

These are the volunteers that came along and helped us out:Jonathan and Jeremiah

I also did something that was fun. I lawn mowered between the plants to keep the weeds from getting badder. I mowered all the rows. I thought of it as being fun to do because i never did it before.
