Our young gardeners were excited to peek through the leaves and see their fruits and vegetables growing so well. one of Laurel's jalapenos is almost ready. Nate got to bring home two cherry tomatoes. Drake brought home a yellow squash. We saw lots of good lady beetles helping the garden and squashed the harmful cucumber beetles. No need to water as the gauge measured over 1" of rain. The corn, beans and squash in the three sisters garden are coming up nicely and are almost a foot high. The seed bombs planted in the garden have dissolved and are beginning to sprout.
In class the students learned the difference between fruits and vegetables. Some things we commonly refer to as vegetables are actually fruits such as tomatoes, squash and cucumbers.
Everyone enjoyed the feast of fruits and vegetables with dip thanks to Drake and his Mom.
Miss Cass made lady beetles out of flour and salt clay, then baked them. Our young gardeners had fun painting them with red and black paint.
The day finished with a rousing game of launching lady beetle bean bags on the sheet.
