Garden Thoughts from 1-SW

1-SW gardeners know how to think of the garden in three different ways-like a farmer who concentrates on growing the plants, like a scientist who examines all the facts and thinks about the environment, and like a poet who responds to the garden with feelings and imagination. Using their poets' sensitivity, the students composed some thoughts about garden photographs taken right after the storm.







The pepper is sad because it was snowing.


The pepper was lonely because its friends went home.


The pepper was sleeping under a blanket of snow.




Can you spot the snow-covered eggplant?



          




       The plants are altogether
        having fun with their friends.

       The brussels sprouts are happy in their 
        greenhouse.    

Ms. Collins is happy that her baby sprouts are safe!



The zucchini was warm under all those leaves and vines.

The zucchini was happy under its little tent.

The zucchini was swimming happily in a green ocean.

The zucchini feels worried because of the chipmunks.

A cold, snowy week in the garden!

What a difficult week this has been! I have been busy in the garden cleaning up the tree branches that fell during the storm! I took lots of pictures of what happened, but haven't had internet access to post them! Over the next few days Mrs. Gibson and I will get them posted so you can see what the garden looked like while we were off from school! The bad news is that we lost the last of our crops because they froze. The good news is that we have lots of work to do in the garden over the next two weeks to prepare for the next season! It's getting cold, so we have to hurry before the ground freezes up! Get ready to work like true farmers!
