Planting Potatoes and Carrots



Tuesday we participated in the first planting of our school garden in its new location just south of the old space. Our students gathered around one raised bed to learn how the soil was prepared and fertilized by parent volunteers.



Taking turns, students helped weed and plant potatoes and carrots. Later we'll add some corn.



Before we went out to the garden, students got a close up look at our seed potatoes all sprouting out dramatically. The potatoes we planted Tuesday were grown in the school garden last spring.
