Friday afternoons are 'club day' at Daniel's school, which means all the 5th graders picked a club they would like to be in, and they meet and do 'club like activities'. Somehow, Daniel wound up in Garden Club, taught by the art teacher - he's very nice, but somewhat lacking in gardening knowledge, so I somehow became recruited for garden club coach.
Bill's company donated a lot of our material, so far we have built three raised beds, filled them, and got some veggies growing. The kids really are a lot of fun to work with, some of them had no idea that food actually grows in dirt. Here they are putting the soil together, and planting out some seedlings. We've done a mix of seedlings, and direct sow.
A couple of quick pictures from my iphone yesterday afternoon, we're having some nice success. The biggest challenge will be getting them to eat some of it:
A little note about the iphone: Bill and I both got the new 4s this week, and I'm really having fun with the camera on it, so probably lots more iphone photography will pop up on the blog.
