Planting our Garden

The week of March 23rd, we are finally planting. The children are so excited. The first to plant were the 2nd grade. They have the radishes. These plants were a good 2 inches tall when placed in the ground. A good 48 plants were planted.

The next to plant were the Kindergarten classes. They have the squash. Their plants look so healthy and are at least 2 inches tall.

Fourth grade has had poor success with their lettuces. They planted 4 different types into their milk cartons. They shot up quickly but over the last couple of weeks have really wilted. We have planted what few we could salvage but it doesn't look good. We have a few seeds left over so we will plant those also. I think we have learned that with lettuce we need to plant the seeds directly into the garden. Fortunately we have some cabbages so we will plant those in the rest of the lettuce space.

Fifth grade has planted their spinach and that is also looking good.

First grade, zucchini and third grade, carrots also plant this week.
