Our Green, Green Garden
Posted by: | CommentsWelcome to our beautiful garden filled with lettuces, broccoli, tomatoes, herbs, strawberries, sunflowers, carrots and radishes. Our tomatoes are carefully covered with a plastic green house or they won’t survive the rainy season. Everything else does well outside. We have planted many of our plants from seeds and some from starters we have purchased. We are all very excited about the tomato crop coming in. Our fruit trees were planted last year so they had at least one rainy season to take root and now have their second. We have fruit on all of our baby trees!!
Our future plans include a worm composting program for our fertilizer and a small green house to begin starting all of our new plants. The children will be included in all of what we do. They will really learn where their food comes from by planting a seed, watching it grow, picking the veggie, cooking it and then composting what is left over.
The Veggie Garden Grows
Posted by: | CommentsThe kids are learning to grow their own veggies from tilling the soil to eating their product. For two days the big kids were in Parramos working the soil, fertilizing and planting seeds. We have our two expert gardeners, Juan Jose and Benjamin, who are also excellent teachers. We can’t wait to eat our tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, lettuce and just about every type of vegetable seed I could find. Watch this space as our veggies start to grow.
