End of 2nd week

Today marked the end of our second week working on the garden. It's hard to believe that we've done so much in that amount of time. When we look back at what this plot of land looked like when we first got here, we can clearly see how much progress we've made.

Today was a fairly short day. The elementary school had an in service day, so no students were present. We cleaned up the area a little bit; combined two piles of dirt together and tidied up the compost area. We also got some seeds started in the greenhouse for broccoli, green bell peppers, and tomatoes, and planted corn along the back side of the garden.



The square foot gardening layout was plotted with string in the 6 square beds. This will provide a good guide for us when we actually go to plant the crops in those areas.





We'll continue working with the kids again on Tuesday.
