Day 16










So we are into Week Four, and have spent much time learning how to plant various cool weather crops for a fall harvest. This week so far, we filled the rest of the existing raised beds with soil and then each student planted their own seeds, including collards, kale, bok choy, carrots, radishes, various melons, various peppers, butterfly salvia, cauliflower, broccoli, onions, pumpkins (and I'm sure I'm forgetting the rest!)


Students have also been monitoring their greenhouse plants, learning the difference between leaf shape and margins. If our pole bean plants flower before the end of next week, we will also be pollinating them.
