Third Graders in the Garden- Late May

The rainy month of April created a plethora of lettuce and spinach which was harvested by Mr. Aguilera's third grade students on May 27th. Some radishes were also pulled. The class enjoyed a salad snack the following day prepared by a children's garden adult. On this day, the warm weather crops were planted into the second planter box. These crops included: nasturtium, tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, corn, squash, pumpkins, and eggplant. Again, both seeds and starter plants were used. Many of the starter plants were begun by Ms. Olson's 4th grade students earlier in the spring.
