*Hesci there kids!
I am Tomochichi
your guide for
gardening. The
one thing you
must remember
when growing
crops is to have
patience.
*Hesci is hello
in Muskogee
language
Patience…. Why?
Patience is key when trying
to grow your own crops. It
takes a lot of time and effort
for the crops to grow! Lets
use corn as an example
because the Creek and
Yamacraw Indians planted
this crop.

Gardening Necessities….
It is a good thing that water and sunlight are a natural
resource and we can use our hands to dig.

Let’s plant a seed and watch it
grow
1. Take your Dixie cup
2. Place a single lima bean seed
in the soil, and then cover up the
seed with more soil. Your cup
should be about ¾ full now, and
your seed should be buried under
the soil.
and fill it up about ½
full of soil.
½ mark
Table of Contents
Lima beans seeds.
You only need 1 seed.
Now what do we need?
In order for our seeds to grow into a plant we need
water and sunlight for heat.
How much of each do we need?
Using a new dixie cup, fill it up a little less than ¼ with
water, and pour that water on your lima bean plant...
We will do this once a day, until they start to grow!
Since it is starting to get cold outside we will use the
heat from a lamp to keep our plants nice and warm
and lit up.
Table of Contents
Keeping a growth track of your plant
You are responsible for keeping up with watering your
plant and remembering to place your plant under the
lamp every day.
You are also to keep a daily journal
explaining what you have done to help
this seed grow into a plant. I would like
you to explain if you watered your plant
and how much water you used, and if you
remembered to put your plant under the
lamp and how close it is to the bulb.
Also in your journals, you can write about any changes you may have
observed throughout this whole process!!
