Out in the Garden!

Today it was difficult to work. It was really hot. Despite the heat we managed to get a lot done. First we did our daily task such watering, pruning, pest management, compost management, and observing the progress of the garden. We also helped to set up a scavenger hunt for a Spanish class to help them get familiar with their school garden. It felt good to see those students so excited about garden. They had so many questions and seemed to be amazed by the “wormy worm bin”. I was happy to see other youth as interested in the garden as me.

            After that we did some harvesting. Actually we did a lot of harvesting. We harvested basil, okra, baby carrots, green tomatoes, kale, arugula, and more. We then had to clean those vegetables. They will be used in our cooking demonstration. Today we are making salads.
