Its Almost Planting Time

We are gearing up for our spring garden planting. We have asked the fourth graders to bring in spinach and lettuce seeds this week. We will plant the spinach seeds outside the middle of March. We will plant the lettuce seeds in milk cartons inside and then transplant outside the middle of March. We are using our milk cartons from our breakfast and lunches in the cafeteria. We will wash them and use them to grow our lettuce on our classroom window sils.

Our fifth graders will be planting broccoli. We have asked them to go ahead and start bringing in seed packets. They will plant their seeds in milk cartons also and then transplant to the garden the middle of March.
