During our last weeks of sunny weather in November, the 6th graders planted a winter garden. They filled some old garden beds with soil donated to us by our community partner, the Earthworm Soil Factory on Neal Rd., and planted winter vegetable starts and seeds three of the garden beds. Veggies planted our prototype planter box for our upgrade included two types of broccoli-- Romanesco and another type, celery, and Brussels sprouts.
Thanks to a generous donation of organic seeds from Peaceful Valley Farm Supply in Grass Valley, we also had many seeds from which to choose. We elected to plant seeds of Red Russian kale, White Icicle radishes, French breakfast radishes, and Lunar white carrots and several types of lettuce along with starts of Napa cabbage in the adjacent box.
Finally, we planted snow peas in a shady bed near the building from seeds we checked out from our newly established Seed Lending Library at the Paradise Public Library. What a great resource for our school gardens and our town!
