We finally handed out our first ever garden club t-shirts! Check out all the green...although some kids wanted to save them in their backpack.
The caption on the shirt says "I dig dirt" and was designed by our very own art teacher, Mrs. Palczynski.
But today, there was work to be done, so we got our hands dirty right away. One of the second grade beds was not doing well and was overrun with weeds. We worked on pulling out those wire grass roots, and we decided to plant a pizza garden with tomatoes, peppers, oregano, onions, and parsley. Yum!
The pea plants were ready for a trellis.
Some of the kids learned how simple it is to make a teepee trellis from bamboo sticks.
We also tried to thin out the plants just a little, but there's not one of us that really likes pulling out the tender shoots we've worked so hard to grow.
And of course the favorite activity of all gardeners is.....WATERING.
Unfortunately, this garden does not have a nearby water source. Watering cans are our best option...but SURPRISINGLY, this garden always does great! It gets a generous amount of sunlight and lots of love.
