Back in September we dumped a bunch of our "black gold" compost from our worm farm on to the garden site.
The students worked with their garden spades to turn the soil and mix in the compost.
Everyone worked very hard.
The next step was to smooth out the plot of soil.
Then we started digging holes for our plants.
We layed our the yardstick so we could line up our plants. Each hole got some water.
We planted a row of broccoli, a row of cauliflower, some red and green cabbage and some swiss chard and one lettuce plant.
Working together.
Helping each other.
Being so careful with each plant.
This was a fun experience for everyone. Since we planted in late September our plants have grown much larger. We've already eaten a few leafs of lettuce and Mrs. Abraham likes the Swiss Chard. That's the red plants you see.
We check our garden often. We have to remove the weeds and check for bugs. Sometimes we find something growing like these peppers. They are off a pepper plant I planted last spring. We also have discovered big and little green tomatoes growing on the plants that survived the summer heat. Hopefully they will turn red before the frost.
We love our garden. Come by and see things growing.
