windy afternoon at the farm.

It was a cold and windy afternoon at the farm on this Monday.  Luckily, sugar snap peas are one of the few seeds that sow directly into the dirt during the cooler temperatures of the spring.  The plants should grow about 4-5 feet in height and we are hoping to see some sprouts next week.  Last year's crop did exceptional and we hope for the same this year. 
 Look at these farmers making parallel lines with the seeds....making connections to math!

Baby marigolds...crucial for keep the pests away from our fruit-baring plants.

monday's thumbs meet.

Monday's Green Thumbs had their first meeting for the spring.  They planted marigolds and a variety of tomatoes.  After clean up, the crew was officially initiated into the club by dipping their thumbs in green paint and then taking a photo in Bowling Green Park.  It's bound to be a great growing season with this crew!
