From seeds to weeds

A huge thank you to the Smith family and the Cary family for remembering to fill out the log book at the garden. This is a great way to keep everyone up to speed on what is happening in the garden. The log book is inside the green bucket. Feel free to write your thoughts about the garden and what you are picking/seeing. 

Since we just started posting our adventures online I thought it would be good to get some pictures up of what we did during the last part of the school year. We received our grant at the end of March and had to get busy getting the garden in. We had a wonderful Boy Scout help us out and he built (with his troop) all of our garden boxes and the amazing benches. So here for your garden viewing pleasure is a quick view of our garden from when it was simply seeds to now. Enjoy!
