Our plants have sprouted and are doing well. We had spring break last week and a few of our seedlings perished, but most managed to survive the week. Since we couldn't get in to school, We filled our plastic containers with water and hoped that the egg cartons would allow enough water in to keep our plants hydrated. I would say it was a success.
The past few weeks have given us a great taste of spring. Warm temperatures in the day and mild temperatures at night have gotten us into the gardening mood. As we met with some of our students yesterday, we asked them what they thought would be the next step with our garden. As expected, several of them said to take the plants outside. Thankfully, we just had a light frost that morning which made it easier to explain to them that it isn't time to plant outside yet. Instead, we gathered some tools and began to work and weed the soil to prepare it for planting.
The kids also mentioned that we should expand our garden. We will be looking into that. By expanding the garden, we hope to get our school families more involved by adopting a garden plot of two so they can garden as a family. We will keep you updated on that!
