Yesterday avid H.E.A.T. gardeners dedicated a few hours of their afternoon to planting the final seeds and plants into the garden. .
After scavenging around for a while in the nearby woods, we collected stakes for our fast growing tomato plants and for trellises for the peas and morning glories. This was followed with a little weeding and watering to make sure what was already planted could thrive.
Olivia O., Jenny, Ana, Ivy, Zia, Kelsey M., and Ms. Basdekis planted tomatoes, peppers, squash, pumpkin, eggplant, beans, and morning glories. Dr. Nix's awesome ESL class donated some tomatoes, eggplant, and pumpkin for us to plant in our garden. With these new additions, the garden is now officially full including two patches outside of the fence that house our flowers and squash.
We are all really happy on how the garden is looking and we are anxious to start harvesting what we have planted! (Although we still have a lot of time to wait).
We look forward to your help and support this summer and in the upcoming year.
