Garden visitors

This week in the gardens we had a couple of visitors. 

A sweet piglet

And bunny

It was hard to get much work done but we did manage to add some annuals to our herb garden. 



And we got zucchini and yellow squash planted. 

Because we have had a problem with squash bugs in the past we are trying to do some companion planting. We have planted nasturtium seeds among the squash because they may deter the squash bugs. Hopefully this will work. 

The garden club recently received a wonderful donation of $100 from a local company, Earth Tek, Inc.  We will use this money to help build tables in the greenhouse. 

Additional upcoming projects include a new fence around the K gardens and a trellis for growing crops like cucumbers in our beds. We are hoping to make these projects come true in the next year. 

We have one more meeting for each group this school year. Look for information coming about working the gardens over the summer. 

Thank you to the moms who provided healthy fun snacks for us these two meetings.
