Ah finally, the first day of school

A picture perfect day for the students to return to school. After a great opening ceremony, the students got right to work - and were very excited to see their friends and favorite teachers. And boy how they have grown!!

The spinach, mesclun mix, and sugar-snap peas started a couple of days ago have already sprouted! The lettuce has one or two starts. The sugar-snap peas just planted in the garden have not sprouted.

Mice (or a mouse) found my sunflower heads drying in the grow room, but that is o.k. they have a sticky surprise waiting for them tonight!

The pumpkins are starting to turn orange, very exciting, while the tomatoes are very prolific. The peppers and eggplant have found their stride, and the sunflower heads are really starting to droop.

Too cool!
