Spring Planting

Spring is here!  Students are researching, choosing and planting seeds in milk cartons.  I always think it's such an old fashioned thing, but it works, its cheap and easy to find.  This 5th grade classroom has milk carton planters all around the classroom but mostly on their desks so they can keep an eye out for sprouts.  We'll check back with them in a few days.  Happy Spring!!

Boy how time flies!! 

This year has been an adventure working with our district's kindergarten team as they prepare for full day kindergarten starting in the fall.  More to come....

Hi friends

Whew!! didn't forget about the projects, time just got away from me :-).  So back to exploring, planting and playing in the garden.  New ideas coming soon!!

Lil Sprouts Garden Club, an after school garden program, has challenged other area school gardens to a "Peas to the Table" competition earlier this month.  Our gardeners learned about a similar school gardens competition from 2012 and decided to have our own local one.

LSGC is working with one of our dads who manages the area organic blueberry gardens.  He has a "secret" ingredient we have added to our composted soil with a promise that the peas grow, grow, grow!  LSGC is counting on that!!  Will  let you know how well it works...  (photos coming!)

Yeah!!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you to  Barbara Leyne of Ruby Slippers Blog Designs
