Brussels and Cabbage and Chard, Oh My!










Finally, after weeks of planning, scheduling, and rain delays, the cool weather veggies are all planted.
Lettuce, cabbage, brocolli, cauliflower, kale, chard, brussel sprouts, turnips, radishes, spinach, carrots,
bok choy, beets, arugula.....Whew! Who knew there was so much to plant in the Fall?

Grades K-2 worked hard digging, planting, and creating beautiful plant markers for their
plants. The seeds are sprouting, some a bit more slowly than others. The plants are thriving in this
recent spell of cool weather. The lettuce is almost ready for a delicious salad.

In the coming weeks, we will  spread a nice blanket of mulched leaves over these veggies
and, hopefully, many will survive over the winter.

Look forward to photos of all of the crops coming in.

Did I forget to mention that garlic will be planted in early December? I really think that a garden never sleeps!!!
