yesterday, Tuesday, March 10

Yesterday my group turned the soil. It was a perfect day to be outside in the garden! I think we are ready to plant more seeds. Let me know when you want to do a garden map so we know what is planted where.

Chefs in the garden

Here are a few pictures of the FEAST class in the garden. Also a picture of the new cilantro plant. I also planted parsley, oregano,  and mint.

Today, Muli and Martha were planting chard, collard greens and we added soil amandment to the dirt and also to our garden. Then we water the new planted with water in pitures from our kitchen, because the water in the garden doesn't work. Pictures to come.

Compost

Zynal and Michele turned the compost. We had lots of FUN!!!!!!!!!!
There was lots of worms and ants!!!!!!! Gross!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Zynal did
a lot of the work. It was really hard!!!!!

New plants

I finally got to the nursery this weekend and bought some herbs and some organic soil amendment to use while we are waiting for our compost to be usable. I'll do some planting as soon as the weather is better.

Dear fellow gardeners,

This is our Cap Garden blog so that we can keep each other in the know about what we are doing in the garden.

Thanks all of you for being involved in the garden! Especially thanks to Ms. Krummel for sharing her knowledge with us this last semester.

Probably the best way for us to use this blog will be to have a student update it whenever they do anything in the garden.

Ms Krummel worked with several of my students last week and turned the compost. She told me it was a little too wet, so on Friday 2/27 my students and I turned both piles again.

Remember you can put pictures in this blog as well.

Just to make sure you were able to access this blog, please write a little something in here.
