Opening (first 30 seconds)
So you've collected some samples from your garden? Daisy said the geranium. This is a geranium. I like the way that you've put a label on your bag so we can see. So once it goes into the lab today, we'll be able to see exactly what we've got here. It's got a label, geranium. Okay, why did you choose This geranium. Because it's got interesting leaves. They look like lily pads. So

So you've collected some samples from your garden? Daisy said the geranium. This is a geranium. I like the way that you've put a label on your bag so we can see. So once it goes into the lab today, we'll be able to see exactly what we've got here. It's got a label, geranium. Okay, why did you choose This geranium. Because it's got interesting leaves. They look like lily pads. So perhaps today Are we able to take the geranium out of its bag today to examine it in the lab?
So perhaps today you could take the geranium out of the bag and use the magnifying glass and have a close look at those leaves and see if you agree with what Violet said that they in fact are interesting cuz they look like lily pads. What else have we got here? Ground cover. What's ground cover? It's plants that you can stick on the ground. Ah, so they grow like a bit like grass? But they're not grass. And is that growing at your house?
In your backyard? At Nanny's house. These are all from Nanny's house. You went to Nanny's house to collect your samples. What else have we got here? This goes with this. Ah, these two go together. I like that it's got a photo. Photo label on it as well. Maya had a playdate when we were doing it. Maya. We've got Maya and Violet in the photo surrounded by very big bunches of what? Lettuce. And Nanny's growing this lettuce in her garden?
You can see the lettuce there. You've got some great samples here. What else have we got? Um tomatoes from her veggie patch. Okay, this is say it says on here a tomato stem. Hudson, you've got a quizzical look on your face. Are you wondering what a tomato stem is? What part of the tomato is the stem, Violet? The part that this hangs off. Okay, so that's the part, Hudson. See, Violet's got a green tomato. a green tomato here, and that normally the tomato would be hanging off that part of the stem.
So, how come the tomatoes are green? Because they're not ready. They're not red. So, if this was still hanging on the vine, eventually it would turn red and ripen ready to eat. I like the way that you brought that in.
