Hello again fellow farmers! This week we have gotten a lot
accomplished, this is all very exciting and the garden is rapidly evolving into
a magnificent landscape. Here you see Ruben, Eugene and Adam making rows to
plant corn. Even thought we already had corn planted, unfortunately we jumped
the gun and planted them too early so the weather was too cold for them to
live. ): We hope that these corn plants grow to be beautiful and yummy for us
to nibble on! :D
We also made many improvements to our garden. Here you see Isabelle and Eugene making trellises so that we could train our pea plants to climb up the string. Our pea plants are getting so tall, but no peas have blossomed for us to snack on yet.
1 And we don’t allow anything to go to waste. Any
plants that may have passed their harvesting period or have not survived the
weather are collected together and put into our school made village compost
pile. Adam is working hard to keep stacking up our compost higher and higher so
that we can reuse it for fertile soil and better soil for our
plants. (right)
We also started planting new seeds so we can expand our garden even
more! We planted tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, onions and lots of other seeds
that are going to ensure that whenever you want a healthy snack whatever
vegetable it is, our garden will have it for you! (below)
This week has been one of our most productive in Microfarming, working on creating the last vegetable rows in the garden, planting even
more vegetables in our flower pots, and creating pizza with the materials we
grew and making it healthy and delicious for the whole class to enjoy.
