Class is still 3 weeks away, but thanks to lots of helpers, rain, and our sunny spot, the education garden is already booming! Below, see our 3 sisters (corn, scarlet runner bean, and squash) planting:
Peppers, eggplant, and flowers are getting established. Flowers cannot be far behind. A tomatillo (often called a "husk tomato") was added for summer salsa making.
One of the two beds - besides the 3 sisters planting, there are also tomatoes, potatoes, nasturtium, basil, sunflowers, lettuce (for seed saving), and our very first crop, radishes, which surprised us with about 20 full-grown specimens for the restaurant. Many thanks to the kids who helped on planting day with a manificent potato trench.
Our "climbing section" in the second bed. Watermelons and cucmubers are getting a slow start, but the peas are taking over! In the background, see brussel sprouts and their "green mulch", also known as nasturtium.
