'lil Sprouts

The 'lil Sprouts in Makefield's K-2nd classes have been busy planting cool

weather veggies these past two weeks. Between the raindrops, they've

managed to get most of the plants and seeds in the beds. We were so excited

to see the little sprouts of the radish and beet seeds pushing through

the dirt. Next to go in is brussel sprouts, if we can locate some plants.

We're already thinking of recipes for all of these cool weather veggies.

Check back with us and see what's sprouting next week.

Seeds from a Neighbor.

I stopped by Cunningham's Hardware Store in Morrisville today, after searching high and low for cool weather seeds for the garden. Rick was kind enough to donate all of the seeds (and then some....) to the

garden. What a kind gesture! Here's a shout out to Rick and our friends at Cunningham's Hardware. Thank you!

Time for bed? No way!

Fall is that time of year when most people are thinking about putting their gardens to "bed".
Cleaning up, pulling out, raking and trimming- preparing the beds for a long winter's nap.
Not here at Makefield. We're just getting ready to begin our fall planting. Yes, we've cleaned up
the summer veggies that were very kind to us and trimmed and raked, here and there. But, we are also
preparing the beds for a bountiful crop of cool weather veggies. Think- beets, broccoli, radishes, swiss chard, winter carrots, turnips, cauliflower, kale, spinach, and lettuce. In December we'll add some garlic to the mix. The K-2nd grade classes are getting their shovels ready for the upcoming planting sessions. There is a lot going on at the Makefield Learning Garden in the Fall. Time for bed? No way! We're just getting started.
