After looking at the BEFORE and AFTER pictures of the garden, I can honestly say that Friday the 13th was NOT an unlucky day for us. With the help of some hard working parent and grandparent volunteers, we weeded, raked, trimmed, and mulched our garden and brought it back to the beauty that it is.

With our mild winter and lack of rain, I think the dandelions thought they found a new permanent  home. They were plentiful enough that we even considered making dandelion salad, but, decided against it. Maybe another day. There were a few weeds that were mistaken for broccoli that had been planted in the fall. After a little bite and a huge mouthful of bitter that wouldn't quit, I decided that THERE WAS NO WAY THAT THIS PLANT COULD BE MISTAKEN FOR BROCCOLI!!

I hope you come back often to check the progress of the Makefield Learning Garden. There are big plans in store for our second year and it's going to be beautiful!!!
