Hawaii - Plants

  • Today I tasted cranberries. I like them. Some people eat them fresh and some like them dried. The fresh ones were very sour and bitter. They were small oval and smooth all over. They were bright red with white spots and they go crunch in your mouth. Cranberries can be dried in the sun. This makes them sweeter to eat and wrinkle and flat. They are the color of dried blood.

  • The little oval seeds are hiding like kids who are playing hide and seek. The brains inside the pumpkin are slimy and hide and protect the seeds. The ribs on the skin of the pumpkin are hard and go from the bottom to the top. The seeds are important because when the pumpkin dies the seeds go into the ground and then new pumpkins can grow. Another way pumpkins begin to grow is people plant the seed in the ground. The stem on top is wide and has lines on it. The stem carries water and nutrients to the pumpkin. Every part of the pumpkin helps to make it healthy.
