What I recorded; Day 1: The colour of the soil looks darker because I just watered it. In the centre of the pot, I see a little sprout. I call it Buddy. Buddy is green and yellow. I wonder how fast it will grow. Day 6: Without much change in the past five days, I finally see that Buddy grows taller today. It’s exciting to see new life like this. Day 11: Buddy is getting larger! Three more new sprouts grow around Buddy! I guess I need to be a bit more patient. Day 13: Buddy grows taller. The leaves on the new sprouts grow a bit. Day 15: Finally, the leaves on the other sprouts are 3 cm tall. They’re so green. I hope they will soon grow into new potatoes.

What I recorded; Day 1: The colour of the soil looks darker because I just watered it. In the centre of the pot, I see a little sprout. I call it Buddy. Buddy is green and yellow. I wonder how fast it will grow. Day 6: Without much change in the past five days, I finally see that Buddy grows taller today. It’s exciting to see new life like this. Day 11: Buddy is getting larger! Three more new sprouts grow around Buddy! I guess I need to be a bit more patient. Day 13: Buddy grows taller. The leaves on the new sprouts grow a bit. Day 15: Finally, the leaves on the other sprouts are 3 cm tall. They’re so green. I hope they will soon grow into new potatoes. What I learned: I think it’s really interesting to grow potatoes by myself. During these fifteen days, I learn that growing potato plants needs plenty of water. If the soil is dry, the potato will fail to grow. I also learn that the temperature needs to be right. If it is too cold, it won’t grow.
