Prepped beds and plantings

The 5th grade has been working hard on Science Fridays preparing their beds for this years garden. The 5 raised-beds were rotated (the signs that is), and the soil had last years leaves, horse and chicken manure worked in.

Students planted some cool weather greens, carrots, beans and peas. They also planted some warm weather crops they had started - cantaloupe, peppers, and sweet basil.

The soil was teeming with earthworms and the soil was much less compacted with the new organics added in
