Winter maintenance in the garden!

 

Here we are... hard at work on a cold, Tuesday afternoon! The garden will be in shape in no time!

Making progress... in the cold!

 




More progress is being made in the new garden area! Today the new doors were built and put into place. Next we'll have to spread wood chips on the ground to make our garden area a true working space! Where are the students, you ask? Keep checking... they're inside bundling up! It's 42 degrees and frosty outside! Next they'll come out and help spread the wood chips and do some winter maintenance on the existing garden. More pictures to come soon!

This is a beautiful sunrise in our new garden area. I came to school on a Saturday morning in December at 7:30am and the sun was coming up over the trees. This is what it's like in our garden on the weekends. What was I doing there at that hour? Watering the baby Brussels sprouts and bringing home the garden gloves for washing! Hopefully the Brussels sprouts will make it through the cold 40 degree temperatures for the weekend. There's lots of condensation on the cold frames, so hopefully the Brussels are warm and flourishing inside!

A very busy December 2011!

So many good things have happened in the last few weeks, I don't even know where to start! There has been a lot of activity in the back of the building, but very few people have had a chance to stop by! No worries! Several special helpers have made sure there are plenty of pictures to post! I will try and keep everyone up to date on all that is happening while we hustle around these last few days of school! Check back shortly for more information and pictures! Ms. SW
