Seeds – UPDATE (Nov 9, 2020)

These are seeds and seed pods that Darby, Yannick and I found in the garden at Canuck Place in September 2020.

We thanked each tree, bush and plant for sharing their seeds and pods with us ❤

Update November 9, 2020 – Bruce Bried, a wonderful volunteer who is very supportive of the school room, told me that the seed pods shown below are from a TREE PEONY!

The inside of these seed resembled coconut!

UPDATE OCT 19. These are from the Kousa Dogwood and are edible! They are very gooey and sticky inside!

UPDATE OCT 19. These are from the Canadian Yew and are very poisonous!

Fuschia – the seed pods look and feel just like grapes on the inside and they are edible!

UPDATE (Oct 7, 2020)

There is still lots of things I don’t know about these seeds, and I’m very curious, so I will be doing a lot of research over the next couple of weeks!

I did learn today though that not only can you eat the seed of a Fuschia, you can eat the flower too! What a pretty garnish it would make!❤

Keep a look out for seeds when you’re out and about and perhaps collect some to share in class one day! Or send me a photo of them! Don’t forget to thank the tree, shrub or plant!

It’s fun to do this experiment with pumpkins at Halloween!

Carve a small pumpkin; make the holes quite small and keep the lid of the pumpkin handy. Use orange food colouring, do the experiment in the pumpkin and as soon as you add the yeast, put the lid back on.

Sometimes we just carve a hole for the mouth, use green food colouring and call it VOMITTING PUMPKINS!
