New plants and new creations!!

Hello fellow farmers! Were working on our garden and making sure we have lots of yummy treats for the fall! Joey has come up with an ingenious invention too, called the "seed shaker" so that we can spread the seeds out more evenly when planting. Now we are clearing out the third section of the garden to plant more yummy treats! Hopefully by the end of the fall we'll have an exciting and plentiful harvest for you!

Tending to our NEW Garden!

We are now skilled farmers! :) We are currently clearing the weeds from the overgrown garden and planting new seeds! So far we have planted kentucky wonder beans, cabbage, romaine lettuce, red leaf lettuce, and baby leaf spinach already! The class is working hard to bring the garden back to life, so while we are weeding we are also composting! The compost will help us make the soil rich with nutrients so that we can plant even more yummy vegetables and fruit! So as we take steps to creating our "new" garden while we weed and plant new seeds, were looking forward having many tasting treats in the fall for us to eat!

Welcome back VS farmers!

Welcome back! We have revisited our garden and discovered some delicious tomatoes, corn, cucumbers, watermelon, and french cut beans. The squash, pumpkin and watermelon continue to grow for the fall season. The garden has overgrown with many weeds so its time for some maintenance. Come stop by for yummy veggie treats!
