It has been a real pleasure to have kitchen garden this year.  Everyone has had their hands dirty and been involved. The weeds have been kept under control quite well.  The students are really disappointed when I suggest that we stay inside on a rainy day to do some plant label designs or something similar.  They'd rather be out there in all weather.

When I could I used the harvests to provide a meal or a snack to suit the season.  This included roast potatoes, steamed artichokes and garlic, salsa and chips, broccoli soup and anything else that we could find.

This week we got the curcurbits planted.  That is the pumpkins and cucumbers for laypersons. The students are asking if we can have a year 9 garden program.  Great idea!  Hopefully we get more rain over the summer than last year.
