Herbs, Tomatoes, Peppers & Potatoes

We finally planted the rest of our Spring garden: herbs (dill, cilantro and thyme) tomatoes (many varieties including cherry and regular), peppers (jalapeno) and potatoes (golden). The students did a great job of prepping the area and planting because ALL the plants survived. He had to water them daily because it was so sunny and many of the young plants didn't like the sun at first. Austin explained, "I thought planting the tomatoes and potatoes were really fun too because now we have a full garden." "Potato, tomato these potatoes and tomatoes are growing great!!" Lexi called out. Cole exclaimed, "These plants have grown well."

Onions

We started ur Spring garden by planting the onions. Each student was able to plant one onion which meant we planted over 100 onions or 4 bunches. Most of the onions were planted well and caught on quickly. It has been dry so we watered them everyday for about 2 weeks. Surya said, "The onions in the garden are sprouting faster than I expected." Nate thought, "The onions are growing fast. I hope they're done growing soon." We used two variety of onions, white and yellow. The yellow onions seem to be doing better than the white ones. We can't wait to taste the difference.
