The pollinator garden received a huge haircut today in preparation for fall crops, weed clean-up, and strawing the strawberries. I love eating fresh strawberries off the vine on September 27th. That is what an ever-bearing plant will do for you!
The raspberries have not arrived yet. I am already looking forward to harvesting raspberries next fall.
Yesterday we had two contractors stop by to give us pricing for a new fence around the outdoor classroom and pricing for tiered amphitheater seating where the forsythia currently reside. The fence will mainly be split-rail and will have one panel of 6' just like by the P.E. space. There are some grants we will be pursuing and maybe some targeted fundraising to bring this project to fruition. An outdoor classroom with such rich resources is such an incredible opportunity for the students.
There are monarch butterfly caterpillars on the milkweed in the pollinator garden. Stop by to watch them munch. As I was mowing and weeding, I also found an empty Corona bottle and a few empty chip bags in the pollinator garden (without pollinators on them), but I don't remember planting those seeds this year. Lucky me!
