Planting Plot 4 with Beans, Broccoli, Lettuce and Cucumber!

Max and Steve at the Garden
 The students measure out the land to plant the seedlings! Max's back was sore from all that effort, but the plants sure are happy in their roomier homes. The effort of the few pleases the many small seedlings. 
Right After Planting
 After extensive measuring, digging and planting our final plot is planted! The seedlings are happy and are sucking in sunlight as this is being typed. Within a few months we should have a harvest of veggies in our garden! Patience is a virtue, despite how hard it is to perform.
Closeups! Strike your poses!
 Above we have red leaf lettuce, beans, and broccoli!
That camera is loving it!
 A nice and healthy broccoli plant! Doesn't it look absolutely overjoyed? If that plant had a face it would be ear to ear with a smile, so you could count all the (0) teeth it has!
The completed plot
The 4 plots are planted and fences...Now we wait for the harvest (with some hard work along the way)! We have  weeding, pest removal, watering, and thinning to do, all for the sake of an organic garden. No wonder such things are more expensive! We can't just put weed-b-gone everywhere after all!
