We are harvesting! Fourth grade has picked two rounds of their lettuce and one round of their spinach. They were so excited. We have used it in the cafeteria during lunches. They love eating what they have grown!
Our squash and zucchini should be ready to be picked within a week and our peas are also about ready. Beets are slow growing as is the broccoli. Cabbage should be ready within a week.
Our strawberry patch looks wonderful! We have harvested quite a few strawberries already. They are large and juicy and the children have loved having them for a snack. Its hard to get them to wash the dirt off before their first bite! Fortunately, going organic a little dirt won't hurt them!
Our enlarged herb garden looks wonderful and we are so pleased with the statue we have chosen. We have used so many of the herbs in the food at lunch and the teachers are enjoying adding the mint to their tea and water.
Will be meeting with representatives from the Glenn Springs Boys Home today to discuss their maintaining and harvesting the garden during the summer. We are excited to know that it will be maintained and used during the summer.
Enclosing some pictures.
