Happy Spring Break

We hope everyone has enjoyed their spring break! It is so exciting to see all the colorful bulbs, shrubs and perennials showing off around the school and all of the pollinators hard at work. The sugar-snap peas are even showing their heads.

We will be planting some cool weather crops over the next few weeks (even as temps reach into the 80's for a spell) and doing some preparation of the raised-beds. It really is amazing how compact the soil has become in the raised-beds, even though they are never walked upon. It will some work to improve the soil structure, but we keep adding compost, carbons, and manure.

The canoe garden is doing well and the cabbage in some of the other containers could stand some harvesting. Our mason bees are working hard at the house, so we will be putting out the bee boxes at school this week.
