Look at the PS58 Garden Now!

One last post before the summer vacation!  This is what our PS58 garden looked like this past February.  We had four square raised beds and three long rectangular for planting our vegetables and pollinator flowers.

All this spring, my two after school gardening classes and various classes through out the school day helped to add four new raised beds to double the size of our garden!  They helped water plant and weed our garden!

On the last day of school, there were bees and butterflies pollinating our plants; there were tomatoes and green beans growing; and flowers on our cucumber, pepper, strawberry and patty pan squash plants!

I want to thank the families that have signed up to water our garden this summer.  Without them, the garden wouldn't survive!

I hope everyone has a marvelous summer and I can't wait to see what the garden looks like in September!

Wow! The Chicks Have Grown!

Here is a picture of our chicks from their upstate home...they aren't so little anymore!

I was given eggs laid by chickens a few years older than ours.  Our chicks won't start laying eggs for another few months! The lighter egg in the middle was laid by a younger chicken than the other bigger and darker eggs.
