We all worked in the gardens today. We did some weeding, bug patrol, and harvested beans, squash, okra, onions and peppers!
The lesson today was about how to preserve the foods harvested from the gardens. Glenda Kinder, Nutrition Specialist with University of Missouri Extension Service talked to the class about how to preserve produce.
The students learned about food safety, how to store produce and how to freeze food. Frozen grapes were a delicious teaching tool.
After the lesson, the gardeners made invitations to the garden party/picnic coming up next month.
