Planting etc.

The garden is really starting to take shape. In the last week we have planted beds 2 and 4, dug around the lemon trees and pulled up weeds, watered (today, Wed 4/1)and started to dig around some of the other trees so that they are not deprived of water from all the weeds.

Next steps could include building a boarder around the trees so it is clear where we need to weed, plant flowers along the fence, and clean up the area close to the recycling as well as the plants near the art building.

Spring is so fun!

Ms Devine's 7th period class worked in the garden on 3/31. We turned the old compost, it looked OK, it was wetter at the bottom and I think if keep turning it every week it will be fine. We also started to dig around some of the rose bushes to get the weeds out, it was hard going now that the earth is dryer. We added our ready compost to the two citrus tree and one other plant out there. I think those that have compost will be obvious. Ms Devine brought some citrus food today to feed the citrus trees as well. I'll give it to Ms Shrigley.
