It’s March and TMS students are starting to think about spring! Here’s an outline of what we’re reviewing:
If you number our garden plots left to right, top to bottom, #1 is strawberries, and will be strawberries indefinitely.
Some raised beds have “volunteer” plants that we will eventually remove.
The compost bin is currently collecting school scraps, which will turn into nutritious soil for the garden.
Other raised beds are either compost topped, or dead cover crop (winter wheat), ready for turning in for feeding the soil.
Lettuce (arugula, brassica) and tomatoes are beginning to grow! These were started 2 weeks ago. Today we planted more leafy and vegetable choices for planting.
- Types of soil: Clay, sand, or loam. Plants love loam.
- Planting/germinating seeds: The seeds will be nurtured by Phil Baumgarten under grow lights at our home, and will be planted in the garden later. We look forward to eating sprouts soon.
- Refreshing our memories of what was planted last year, especially last fall, and to explore new ideas for the spring. The children are excited at the prospects that lie ahead for our garden.
