Update from the Scaccia Family

The garden is really looking good. It did require some weed eating around the fence today.
We think that the beans and peas need to be moved to the other side of the fence next year.
The vegetables on the east side of the garden don't get any sun until around noon. 
Thanks again to all the families coming to weed the garden. Your support is greatly appreciated!!!

Day 1 of Nitzke family Food Forest duty.

The kids did a fantastic job planting! There seem to be a number of cucumbers sprouting and the yellow squash is doing fantastic!  
There are lots of flowers where pumpkins will soon start to show.  
Beans are coming in nicely.

Video on How to Weed the Garden

You may want to watch this if you are taking care of the garden this summer. 

Mrs. Carroccio's class is showing where the food forest is located

and how to weed the garden. 

Thank you so much to our volunteers!!!! 

Please send me pictures over the summer so I can 

share your experiences on the blog. 

Food Forest Update

Thank you to all the families who have been taking care of the garden so far.

The area around the strawberries, beans and peas does not have weed barrier, so the 

weeds are growing like crazy. 

Feel free to weed the garden when you are passing through:)

This is what I saw when I got to school this morning!!! 

It was so nice to see all the green. 

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

The yellow squash is doing great!

So excited to see the carrots doing so well!!!!

Watermelons and Pumpkins

There are beans just about ready to pick. 

The corn is a bit behind.

Garden Update

Took a stroll through the garden during one of my summer work days last week.  It's looking great! Some of our tomato plants have little green tomatoes.  The corn is coming up nicely as well.  I think there's a saying about corn being "knee high by the fourth of July."  I'm not sure if ours will quite be  there by Thursday, but it's definitely growing! Thanks to the families who have stopped in so far to help take care of it.
