And We Have Plants!

The fourth graders have worked over the past few weeks to get our garden ready for plants.  They learned how to check the acidity of the soil, plot a garden, till the soil, and determine which plants to plant first based on the sun.  This past Thursday, the students got to plant the first plants of the year.  They planted both seedlings and seeds along with some herbs.  We will be watching to see if the fruits of our labor are great.  Thank to everyone who has helped us with the garden.  We really appreciate it!
Matthew and Elizabeth plant some lettuce.

Mrs. Carley shows the class how to pull the plants out correctly.  Justin watches intensely.

Thank you to our volunteers, Mrs. Carley and Mrs. Fesenmeier.
