Beautiful eggplant on a veggie pizza is in the works!

What's Coming Up in the Gardens?

To be planted in the fall gardens are onions, collards, broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce and tomatoes. The garden currently has some eggplant ready to be harvested soon. We tried using water boiled with onion and garlic to kill some bugs on the plants. Perhaps the mixture was not quite potent enough because the insects were back in a day or two. The mixture is repellent to them, but to me it smelled like the beginnings of spaghetti sauce!

Now         and then....  

Fourth grade students planted a mandarin orange tree on Monday, September 30, 2013. They worked hard and managed to keep all the fruit on the tree. A job well done is all to be said.

The School Year 2013 2014

WE WILL MISS SUSAN PARKER AND KATE HICKS THIS YEAR!!

BEST WISHES TO THEM!!

Today September 16, 2013, a new group of food adventurers made a trip to the gardens so that they could get them ready for planting. The jobs were to pull out dead plants, turn the soil and look for vegetables that could be used in the kitchen.

When we went to the kitchen we found a few things to make a Hurricane Pie. It is called this because it is a pie that might be able to make without electricity. Unfortunately, our pie did not turn out so well. We used almond milk, vanilla pudding and a graham cracker crust. The pudding did not set up correctly, but it tasted alright in a cup.

Second grade students have been spotted measuring the sizes of their radish crop this spring. The fourth graders were seen admiring the radishes. There are big plans for radish salads for the culinary kitchen. Way to go!
