Summer Planting

"School is out, but Alzario, Artis, and Derrick gave up a morning of their summer vacation to work in the garden.  They fed and watered the chickens and took care of the compost.  They transplanted tomatoes, bell peppers, and tomatillos that they had sprouted indoors.  They also prepared beds and planted corn, eggplant and several types of squash.  Before they left, they harvested mustard greens, arugula, lettuce, and swiss chard to take home.  I also had some for my lunch, and it was delicious."

 Our pots of lettuce are looking yummy

Those carrots are looking crowded!  We thinned them out.
