Happy almost spring!
We are finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel of winter. As our snow is starting to melt, I have made a disappointing discovery. Even though we placed our beds about 10 feet away from the sidewalk, the plowing operations have destroyed at least 4 of the 5 beds. The 5th bed hasn't made its way out of the snow yet. To avoid this same problem next year winter, we will move the beds in another 10 feet. We will also make sure to mulch around the beds this year. I would like to learn more about square foot gardening and see if we can make that work this year. I would also like to create a three sisters garden to teach the students about how the Native Americans planted their gardens.
This week and next week we will start some plants inside and hopefully will be able to transplant them in June!
We will keep you posted on our work!
