It is starting to look like spring around here. Thick yellow pine pollen is coating our wind shields, azaleas are starting to bud after a cold winter, and soil has appeared in our garden boxes. That's right! Soil! A huge thank you to All Seasons for the donation. Thanks, too, to the student crew who took charge of pick-up and getting it into the boxes so quickly. It was exciting to come out of class to find the attractive boxes ready to go.
I have started some seeds (this morning my five-year-old excitedly pointed out that some have sprouted) and others have been promised to us. We should be able to start planting soon, perhaps this week. For inspiration, we are going to visit the "Bogarden" at the corner of Rutledge and Bogard St. during class on Thursday. We can make some decisions about what to plant then. Please meet at our classroom and wear walking shoes. Matt G. will lead the way. We will have our book discussion at the garden or on Matt's porch.
I have also been in contact with Ambrose Farms and I'm pleased to announce that we are going to take a field trip there in early April. We are coordinating with Ambrose to time it so we can be there when the crews are picking.
See you Thursday!
