Beet and potato harvest

It's time to harvest potatoes and beets!

Walter (grade 6) and Brian (grade 7) carefully dig around the roots of the plants, the leaves of which have turned brown.

Brian points out how to spot some potatoes with his trowel.

Malachi (grade 7) shows off a whopper of a potato.

After washing the potatoes, the group shows off the harvest.

Malachi shows off a freshly-picked beet.  This is our second planting of beets this season.

We'll sell the beets and potatoes, along with other fresh produce, at a farm stand at dismissal on Friday.
