I just finished ordering a whole lot of excitement for the Green School farm and pollinator garden! As far as the farm goes, we have lots of new greens and root crops growing. I have also ordered more greens, garlic and shallot sets, and some quick (as short as 30 days) cabbage, as well as fennel and dill for our butterfly friends.
We are developing the gardens by the sides of the 5th grade classroom steps which lead up to the pollinator garden. We have 8, yes 8, new fall bearing raspberry plants on their way. We will also be planting spring bulbs with pollinator and butterfly friendly perennials within that space. Remember that space by the steps used to be full of invasive plants and non fauna friendly plants and shrubs and (ouch) barberry.
Kindergartners were out today and saw tiger swallowtails and black swallowtails in the pollinator garden. There is a black swallowtail caterpillar living on the fennel on the farm and one living in kindergarten eating GSB grown fennel!
Have you heard about the awesome horseradish Mrs. Primm made today!? Yowzaa and yummy!!!! We will be freezing most of it. Bring on the pit beef sandwiches!!!
We do what we can...
