Counting down to Farming

Hot diggity dawg!  Growing season is upon us.  I started prepping the grow room in ernest yesterday and am looking forward to starting seeds with the students in the next few weeks.  I am also starting to formulate a plan for cleaning the garden, getting soil tested, and thinking of all the great organic soil amendments that we will be incorporating to grow great soil.

Third grade's composting is rolling right along.  We are still trying to get our ratios correct for a hot pile, but rest assured those good beneficial microbes and insects are hard at work, albeit slowly.

We will also be expanding and improving the pollinator garden on the hill this year.  Remember all of the bulbs we planted in the fall, like hundreds of them?  Soon enough they will be in their full glory and beauty...
