First Day

The Capuchino Garden was planted today with cauliflower, beets, lettuce, cabbage, leeks, carrots and a single pineapple sage bush.

Ms. Degregorio's students had already weeded, fertilized and turned the soil in our planting beds the week before.

The plants were watered after planting and then a second time in the afternoon (the temperature was about 85 degrees today!)


We expect to see a harvest in the following amount of time:
cauliflower - 45 to 70 days
beets - 45 to 70 days
cabbage - 70 days
leeks - harvest when one inch in diameter
carrots - 60 to 90 days

Ms. Devine turned the compost.
