My goodness it has been a long time since I last posted... Not much going on out there with the exception of our compost bin is composing and the settling of the leaves we put over the top of the entire area. I can't wait to see little green sprouts coming from the ground in several weeks, when our bulbs begin to come up.
The 7th and 8th graders winter sowed a ton of seeds today. They planted peas, beans, 2 different kinds of lettuce, cantaloupe, spinach, squash, and carrots. I hope that we see some of those come up, too. Thanks to Polly Reott for helping us with the donation of the seeds to get us started. Thanks to Jay Rotter for the dirt he and his family donated. Finally, thanks to Mr. Dave and his group for rinsing and saving all their juice containers for us to use.
This spring I plan to have a Saturday where we get out there, clean up the place and get some new beds established. It is always good to change things up each year so we will be creating some new beds. I am looking for donations for wood chips and time, when the time comes. Please let me know if you would be available.
Thanks much and happy growing!!! :)
