Strawberries, peas, and seeds

Our strawberries are starting to produce red, ripe, tasty berries. Our sugar-snap peas are starting to produce, but always have such a hard time with this early heat. Students have been collecting the seeds of cabbage, and broccoli that was over-wintered and will be collecting the seeds of the Brussels Sprouts (at the corner of Cardenas and Brendan Ave.)

Check out the size of the onions and garlic in the canoe garden and in the raised beds! Can you tell which is which just by the foliage? The blueberry has already set fruit, as has the raspberry bush - yum!

Have you seen all the pollinators in the pollinator garden and all over the rest of the flowering plants? Keep your eye out for the Baltimore Checkerspot (our state butterfly) we have seen some out at North Point State Park, but not around the school.

I hope everyone is also enjoying the bounty that Real Food Farm brings by every Thursday for sale - sooooo many goodies!! Thanks RFF!
