June Gardening

We have been learning many fun things in our summer gardening program this month! Our first week we learned how to test our soil and make sure it has enough moisture.

Tori did a great job checking to see if we had enough moisture in our garden!

Then we got to put mulch down!

Garrett loved helping with the leaves!

But, by far, the favorite activity was watering!

And more watering!

And more watering- these two took great care of our garden!

We also got to plant potatoes in a cage-so curious about how they will grow!

Our second week, we discovered that bugs were attacking our eggplants. So, we learned how to make a little tent over it to protect it- pretty neat!

We also learned about transplanting!

Tori was especially excited to water all the newly transplanted eggplants!

Tori and Garrett love the strawberry patch!!!

Tonight we learned how to make smoothies with things from our garden! It was especially fun that they let all the kids create their own recipes and try different combinations!

Tori made one out of all different kinds of berries- yummy!

Garrett obviously loved his!

We are having so much fun learning about so many aspects of gardening! Can't wait to see what else they have in store for us!
