Girls, my kid's school assigned them to plant an onion on the windowsill and keep a diary. I have no clue about this. I don't know how to plant it or what to do with it. And I don't plan to find out. So, my question is: what can I write in the observation diary about this onion? 🤔 🤦

Okay, Google. Onion tracking diary.
Question: Why should you do this if you've already asked the child?

You can ask AI about how onions will grow in water day by day, or how to do it.

Let the child do it! But you surprised me 😁 Didn't you learn how to plant onions in school?

Get your little one an onion and a handful of soil with a glass. Let them plant it and observe, and write down their observations in a journal. It's not like it's a school assignment for you! 😉

Natasha Because if a mom doesn't know how an onion grows, how is she supposed to know?)) Yeah, I guess if she can only copy from Google, she can do that. Probably have to do that 🤣

I don't know anything about this stuff either, I dug up potatoes for the first time this year.

Olga Antyuhova No garden? That's a bummer, but even if not... put an onion in a glass of water and it'll grow. You can also stick it in the ground (don't forget to water it)

Natasha That's great, of course.
Mine didn't get bullied at daycare or school.
And I don't need this whole "growing onions" thing to know about it, I just went and bought some. Why would I bother with that silliness of growing a garden on my windowsill?

Pfft, just put it in a clear glass of water and that's it, it described the growth of roots and shoots. What's so difficult about that? 🤔

Olchik
Natasha Are you kidding me? ) Mine are definitely not interested, they're all about school and sports, not about how an onion grows. I'll say it again, there's nothing wrong with adults not knowing how an onion grows. You're like my friend: I buy the dough, and she mixes it and is shocked that I don't do it her way and don't know the proportions, because why would I waste my time and energy? You can just buy it, and the kitchen stays cleaner.

Just plant the onion in a glass of water, making sure the roots touch the water, and place it in a bright spot. Mine are directly in the soil on my balcony, which is also an option. My son was recently assigned to grow a salt crystal and complete a practical assignment. He's going to submit it tomorrow, along with the crystal. I'd rather grow an onion though!)))

So what are you writing to the author, like, 'How can you not know how to plant this onion?' You have so much free time to do this, you're amazing for doing it.
Translated automatically. Show original
Olga Antyuhova
Natasha Which one? To raise something that can be done (even if we could afford to buy it). We had such a relaxing time, not constantly on our knees (as you write)

Olga Same here, these crystals aren't growing. I also don't understand how my kid is supposed to carry them 🙄 why not do it in class with the teacher, that's what's right

Olga Add more salt (if you're using salt). You need a lot, until the salt stops dissolving.
Translated automatically. Show original
Olga
Olga I found a way! You can get normal-sized crystals from fine salt. My son and I made 3 cups to be safe, hoping at least one would grow. We used coarse rock salt, sea salt, and fine table salt. The fine salt worked the best! When it stops growing, you need to add more strong salt solution to the cup, and it will continue. Depending on how much time they give you, we had 2 weeks, so it didn't grow very big. But I think my son could have grown it to a good size if we had at least a month.

Tatyana What nonsense!
At 11 years old, I would have happily planted a flower with my mom, even without a school assignment. It's fun to watch it grow and spend time together. It's so interesting to observe its development.
How can you decide if it will be useful or not? Maybe she wants to become a biologist or an agronomist, I don't know. It's so strange to withhold an onion from a child.

Olga
Olga Yeah, we've redone it three times already, but it's coarse, settles to the bottom, and that's that. I just glued it on with thread, and that's when it started working. But I still drop in occasionally, not every day, so I don't see how things are going. I didn't know I needed to add more, thanks!
