And More Germination

More beans and more edamame have germinated!  Just about all of each are up.  The corn is just starting to peek through in places and we are still waiting on the first round of sunflowers to start coming up.

We mulched the new outdoor teaching space and Urganic farm with 4 cubic yards of great, new mulch.  3rd and 5th graders moved mulch and picnic tables.  It all looks fantastic.

More flowers and sunflower seeds were planted in the perimeter beds today.  So now we are down to weeding and watering until our second plantings start later in the summer.

The kindergarteners have been hard at work outlining their pollinator and native garden with stones they collect from around Herring Run.  It looks great.  They will also be doing their annual end of year pollinator planting(s) very soon!

Did I tell you that Mrs. Buckley spotted a ruby-throated hummingbird feeding in the pollinator garden the other day!?  Well she did and shared the sighting with Mrs. Primm.  I was too slow to turn around :(
