Did you know that last week and this week we are sowing seeds for our fall garden at the ISC? This is probably the kids' most favorite thing to do (aside from eating the freshly harvested produce). This year we chose a different approach and decided to pare down our vegetable variety to just five types of vegetables: kale, peas, radishes, carrots and greens.
Half of the school planted last week before the storm came rolling in (even despite the spitting rain). We had an intensely rapt audience! Little hands helped make rows, plant seeds, spread soil and pat down garden beds. Big hands (our volunteers) came in ahead of the kids to clear the beds and compost spent plants.
As always, I personally am truly amazed at how much time our volunteers are willing to offer to this small project. We are growing because of you, volunteers. Thank you!
This week we will be planting on Friday morning if all goes as planned.
