Day Three Summer School

At classtime it was: 67.9 degrees. Winds 10-12 mph. No rain overnight.

Here is how the beds looked before mulching.

Today we hiked across the soccer field to a very "ripe" pile of aging grass clippings. What a perfect mulch this will make! We use our trusty winter sleds piled high and pulled over to the garden. Once back at the garden, we lay down several layers of newspaper on the soil, wet it down good then place the grass on top. The girls were better about getting their hands in the grass than the boys were. Luckily, we have a stash of gardening gloves for anyone wanting to protect their hands.
