Getting Ready for Our Summer Garden
We are growing banana peppers, sweetie tomatoes, purple Cherokee tomatoes, eggplant, lemon basil, and Italian basil in our hydroponics units that will be moved outside to our garden next month. Flowers in our milk jugs are getting big. Snow peas and spinach are growing, and our chives are in bloom!

Fun Fact: The best lettuce varieties for rabbits are romaine, red leaf lettuce, and butterhead, which are high in fiber and nutrients, while iceberg lettuce offers a much lower nutritional value treat.

Getting Ready for Spring!
The students took advantage of the warm weather to take a trip to check the garden. While they were there, they set up the tables so we could have class in the garden once spring arrives.

Our community at the PISC Vera Garden has come together to prepare for Spring! Not only is our compost set, but we also have lettuce coming up!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

The warm weather we had in November allowed us to keep our sweet potatoes in their grow bag for longer than we originally planned. The largest purple sweet potato we grew weighed a whopping 3.6 pounds!
