Plant It Small, Grow It TallWhen they got to the meadow, Jerome and Felicity put
down their tote bag. Jerome pulled out a small shovel. Felicity pulled out a small plant in a pot.
“Where shall we plant the little peach tree?” she asked Jerome.
“Let’s put it over here in the sun,” she answered.
They dug a hole and carefully removed the little tree from it’s pot. They set the seedling carefully in the hole and filled the hole with dirt. Then, they watered it from a water bottle they had brought along.
“In a few years, we’ll be able to sit in its shade,” Felicity said.
“And maybe make our own peach jam!” Jerome replied.
For now, they were happy to take a break sitting next to their new tree.
