A week of sowing peas and harvesting leaves-by Isabelle

This week, it was time to take our pea plants outside and bring in some Spinach leaves to make a healthy lunch. Enjoy the reflection on the week by Isabelle:

Look at these baby pea plants we just planted (left)! Were hoping they grow big and strong so we can have some yummy sugar snap peas to eat. Toby instructed us how to carefully place the plants in the ground and bury them so that they will grow to be big and strong!

My very first trellis was a success (right)! The idea of a trellis is to have a guide for the pea plants to grow, so we train the plant to grow up the string so it can get lots of warm sunlight! Unfortunately our babies are too small to train right now but we will continue to watch them eagerly! P.S. Look at how big and juicy that cabbage plant looks!





We also planted broccoli (below)! As you can see Toby was a little enthusiastic about his planting duties and got caught on the plastic fencing that surrounds our garden. We successfully planted 4 broccoli plants even with the difficulties Toby ran into that day! I can’t wait to taste the fresh broccoli when it’s ready!

Look at this amazing salad our class made (below)! We have such an abundance of greens in our garden that we have been making scrumptious salads for the past two weeks! Although veggies aren’t exactly the first thing on every kids favorite food list, everyone loved the salad! We plan on making pizza soon, so sit tight and wait for the updates on the garden and our cooking next week!-Isabelle
