Day Two Summer School


Todays work in the garden includes beginning to stain the tomato "ladders" that will support our tomato plants. We used the same supports last year, but this year we want to protect them from the weather a bit.

Will notes in his journal that" it's 68 degrees out today with a 7 mph wind" When we gather in the classroom we always check the weather from the school's WeatherBug on the website.

Insects noted by Brittany are "cutworms, greenish-blue beetle and ants".
AJ measured the tomato plants in one of the beds. The tallest is 11 inches, there is a 10 inch plant and the smallest one is 7 inches. Digging for insects and looking at them with the magnifying glass was a big fascination today.
