A Modest April

Hello, I’m brand new to gardening, but I saw an opportunity at my school. I cleaned it up last fall, and put some seeds in the window this spring, and now we have corn, cantaloupe, and pea seedlings making a go of it. We recently threw down some bok choy, lettuce, okra, and tomato seeds, so we’ll see what happens. We’re trying to get a greenhouse set up for next spring, so that should extend our growing season a lot. First thing right now is to set up a soaker hose so that the garden survives the summer. It’ll be fun to plant seeds in June to eat in the fall. These pics were taken at the end of April, by the end of May we should see some good growth. Super psyched at W.E.S.!

Garden Prep

The students took advantage of the beautiful weather and started weeding and preparing the garden for planting. They moved the tables and put the umbrellas out so outdoor learning could begin.
