The first veggies went into the ground at the Learning Garden! We have been working YEARS for this day. Thrilled to see this day arrive.
The honor went to Mrs. Schultes 3rd grade class who measured correct spacing, dug the correct sized holes, and planted, then watered. What vegetables did they plant, you ask? Cabbages! Bonnie Plants provided all 3rd graders with tiny plants for their annual cabbage contest. Each student can plant, water, care for their plant and track growth. Winners can receive $1,000, well worth the small effort! More Bonnie Plant Cabbage Contest information available here.

Lovely to see the children planting. Still too cold for planting here but hopefully in another month or six weeks!

Thank you for your kind words! We have been having unusually warm temperatures here. Hopefully they don’t dip too low and ruin these little guys, but a little netting might help.
