Today at E3 Friday the Goldfinch group harvested lettuce, mustard greens, corn, a very small eggplant, and peppers. There was more than enough lettuce, mustard greens and corn for Mrs. Primm to make a very large salad and share it with all three lunches that eat in the Spice Dining room. For students who like their greens tangy and with a kick this was the salad for them! The peppers turned out to be too hot for tender palates.
We also did a lot of weeding, pulling of old hot weather crop plants, and preparing the soil for cool weather crops. I planted another round of lettuce, and added a sprinkling of spinach and radishes. All of the corn stalks inside the fence were harvested, set aside for drying, and will be decorations for the fall season.
Friendly insect alert! There was a huge praying (I so want it to be preying) mantis and a gorgeous black swallowtail at the Farm that we took pictures of. So cool.
Another exciting addition to the blog is coming. The Green School student newspaper for which Mrs. Butcher is Editor and Publisher that runs concurrently as an activity with E3 Friday will be starting soon. The budding journalists are GSB students. There will be a column devoted to the Farm and Garden written by GSB students. That column will also be published here! I can't wait. Thanks Mrs. Butcher and GSB journalists.
