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.
