Late Summer Planting (and some other updates)

Some plants mature best in cooler weather.  These crops are usually the first to be planted in the spring, and the last to be planted in the summer.

Walter (grade 6) plants peas.

 Brian (grade 7) plants sugar snap peas.  Malachi (not pictured) planted broccoli in the row where we just harvested potatoes.

There are also lots of other chores to do...

Walter and Malachi add wood chips to the compost pile.

Brian moves wood chips to be spread under the chicken coop, where the chickens like to cool off in warm weather.

 The students' hard work is paying off.  Here are some garden highlights.

Good Mother Stallard bean pods are showing up on the vines.

Eggplant are maturing.

We have some big tomatoes that will soon be ready to eat.
