Now growing 8 raised beds filled with vegetables and flowers.
Produce will benefit our Elementary School community,
Students gathered starting on June 16th for eight days of lessons and gardening, led by our 4-H and Master Gardener volunteers. On this first day of class we discover that things have grown since planting and the last day of school 10 days ago. There are also weeds growing, so one of the first tasks is to weed in all of the beds.
Then we think about what to use for a mulch around the tomatoes and the peppers. Tomorrow we will hike across the soccer fields and "borrow" some of the old grass piled up over there.
Kids are excited to find beetles and caterpillars in many of the beds.
Keyah writes in her journal "there are worms eating the beans".
AJ notes that the flowers are 5 inches tall.
