What I did in the garden was planted sunflowers.  I liked seeing two carrots growing bigger than the rest.

Growing, growing, growing...

This will be our first season with several different vegetables including; carrots, green beans, green peppers, and cucumbers.  We have two blueberry bushes already producing fruit! We are planting watermelon seeds this week which will be ready in time for our summer school program to enjoy.  I am very excited for our very first successful harvest of fruits and vegetables.  The students had so much fun starting these plants from seed and watching them grow.

I would like to thank Mrs. Gellner's class for creating our garden scarecrow, Bob. Hopefully he will keep little critters away from our plants.

We are hard at work mulching, weeding and adding new soil to our raised beds.  The students have also started green pepper plants from seed.  We are watching and waiting for them to sprout.  When they are big enough, we will transplant them into the garden.

In the garden today...

April 30, 2012.   Today in the garden we made some observations.  While outside watering the blueberry plants we noticed that the strawberry plants never sprouted.  We did find some carrots sprouting where we planted them last year.

We planted Morning Glorys in our classroom, when they get bigger we will transplant them into the garden.

Thank you to Mrs. Gellner's Class for starting the cucumber plants from seed. We look forward to watching them grow!
