Summer Vacation Starts Next Week

Box 1 was planted in late April and has filled in considerably. The cabbage heads are rounding up and the lettuce and spinach have been harvested several times. A new crop of radishes has been planted and the strawberries are starting to form small fruits. A squash and pumpkin plant were added this week to provide some late summer activity for this box. The brussel sprouts are getting taller and the peas have been staked. The netting was added also, though not visible in the adjacent photo.

Box 2 which was planted in late May by the third graders is now showing many sprouts. Check out the corn and beans which have really grown with the warm weather. If you click on the picture, you can see an enlarged version which really shows what's growing! The tomatoes are so tall they are ready to be staked too.
