June Report

Multiple lessons were taught, covering vermiculture and the importance of compost, the various stages of insect development, engineering support structures for plants, weighing and mathematics, and invasive plants and insects. The students transplanted pea plants around the support beams of the bamboo trellis. Produce was harvested and we gathered 7 pounds of zucchini, 3 pounds of cucumber, and 1 pound of sweet peas. The produce harvested will be sold in to parents in a sale put on by the students and a portion of the zucchini will be used to make zucchini bread, muffins and chips. Plans to install an irrigation system through the garden along with a rainwater barrel have been set and will take place in the first part of July.
