Growing!!

The garden looks great. We have been watering also everyday. The plants are liking the cool mornings but not the sunny afternoons. The kale especially is wilting in the full sun after school. Hopefully the cool weather this weekend will make the plants more happy. We have noticed the leaves in ALL of our plants having many little holes. Mrs. Reichele did some research and found our problem. We have flea beetles!! She bought some spray that is safe, and it is doing the trick.

Planting Complete!!

 Our plants are in!! The hard work is completed, and now we only need to watch the garden grow. Actually, we will need to keep watering. We planted Kale (Dinasour and Red Russian), Chinese cabbage, Spinach, Arougula and Salad Bowl Lettuce (Regular and Red). From seed, we planted Purple Top White Globe Turnips, Cherrybelle Radishes and Crimson Giant Radishes. The fifth graders are so excited and have worked very hard. They can't wait to eat the fruits of their labor.
