Noyo Food Forest. This Week at The Learning Garden.

Howdy folks

Redwood elementary students will be munching on sweet tender carrots today as we made the first harvest from the greenhouse boxes yesterday. Yummy!
The highschoolers have done a great job this week planting three more beds of cucumbers, sowing greens, forking a pea bed, and helping weed as well as caring for their personal beds.Ashton made the first student harvest from his bed last week and also made a new screen for the compost. Yeah Ashton!
Veronica got in the rest of the basil, double dug a new flower bed, and prepped the outside tomato bed.
Today we will start compost tea, plant zucchini,sunflowers, cherry tomatoes and peas, and also get started on some new planter boxes for the greenhouse.
If we are lucky it will rain tonight and tomorrow. For the market today we will have delicious greens, edible flowers, and perhaps a few bouquets.
For the work day on Friday we can plant more flowers, prep a big bed for sweet peas, make compost, and work a little on the dripsystem. Please join us 1-5 nibbling on peas, Sakina
