Seed or Weed - What is a Weed?

Today was all about weeds!

We learned what weeds are - Drake
We learned how to prevent weeds - Josie

Weeds are anything you don't want growing in your garden, and they compete with your plants for nutrients, water and space. So it's important to remove or prevent them by weeding and mulching. Our young gardeners didn't get to do much weeding today because the gardens are too wet. We surveyed the gardens and check the rain gauges - 1.3 inches since Monday!















Laurel found the first Anaheim pepper and tomato in her salsa garden!

After surveying the gardens, we went inside and painted picture frames. We'll decorate them later with imprints of leaves from our plants. We'll use the frames for pictures of us in our gardens!
