| Time to get to work! |
This day was hard work. Everyone was outside, doing something, even Steve the principal, who technically graduated from highschool a long time ago (possibly when there were still dinosaurs). Steve the student and his buddy Max were working on building more raised beds, while Amanda and Sarah were working on more trellises for the pea plants, which are growing speedily and happily.

The pea plant to the right are loving the trellis, using it to grow into the sunlight faster than can be comprehended. It's surprising that they are growing so fast, I expected it to take a month or so for any real progress, when really it's only a day or two. Amazing!

| HEY! LOOK! BROCCOLI! |
Not only are we growing pea plants, but some of our veggies are showing signs of fruition. To the right is a close up of one of your broccoli plants, showing off the little buds that are known to be the enemy of children everywhere. Above is a reveal of the radishes as they begin popping out of the ground, eager to be excavated. We will probably be harvesting the radishes within a week or so.
Even more amazing is how hard the people are working in this garden. Watering, cutting, and thinning all for some harvests that have only been hinted at thus far. Is all our work really worth it? I don't know, but I sure am hopeful, and I know so is everyone else who is participating. I hear a rumor that Village School might be getting a public garden soon elsewheres, keep your ears open and your eyes peeled on this little school, we're gonna make a big difference!
