Happy Earth Day to all!

Mary and Abby pulling weeds from the onion "territory".

Shannon, Allie and Adam pulling weeds.


The 7th graders and I went out and pulled weeds this morning. We also worked some leaves into an area of dirt that doesn't appear very "healthy". I plan to plant corn and green peppers in there, so we need to add some "good stuff" to the soil. I saw some lettuce coming up this morning and some of the onions are starting to show up, too. Fr. Schmitt complimented us on the sweet peas! A friend of mine who currently works at Schenk mentioned that our garden has been the talk of the place! Fun stuff! I will be putting up more pictures soon. Enjoy!

  1. How exciting! Mixing in the leaves to help that area of soil was a great idea. Looks like the peas will be ready to nibble soon!
