Beds 1 and 2 are complete and the fence has been installed!

 Last week we started by marking out the first bed. We measured the rows and marked them off with string. We planted Broccoli, Carrots, Radish and Lettuce!

 After marking out the rows and sowing the seeds we put up our fence to prevent rabbits from spoiling our crops!

 Beds 1 and 2 have been completed! The students placed rocks to hold down the fence and prevent unwanted visitors from creeping into the beds!

During the week of April 4th we mixed peat moss into the bed and turned over the soil to a depth of 12 inches. This will allow the roots to take hold and grow!

The Village School Garden! We have our composter on the left, our 4 beds in the center and our greenhouse behind the beds! We hope to have our vegetables ready to eat by June!  Beds 1 and 2 have been planted and fenced and we hope to complete bed 3 on Thursday!

The Raised Bed Cedar Planks have arrived!

We just received the delivery of 1x6 Cedar Planks for our raised beds. Before we start constructing them we need to learn a little bit about raised bed gardening.

 On March 30th we prepared our  first bed. The students tilled, raked, marked out rows and planted Broccoli, Radishes, and Carrots. We ran out of time to sow our lettuce seeds though.

Once the weather clears up this week we will finish planting this bed.
