We take out the pumpkin plants
With Thanksgiving right around the corner Period 7 class helped remove the pumpkin plants from the garden. I can't believe I cannot find any photos of the removal. We removed the pumpkins on Nov 14th to allow time to distribute our harvest to other schools in the district before the Thanksgiving break.
