Summer Garden Update 2021

 

Shade Cloth Tarps placed above Raised Gardens

 This past week I placed a cap on top of each of the six poles and drilled a hole into the cap. I then placed a metal wire through the hole and stretched it across to another. I then attached the shade cloth to the wire. The shade cloth now stays at least seven feet above the ground.

Irrigation Lines in most raised garden planters were installed on June 29

 Installed irrigation lines in the raised planters that students built during the 4th quarter. Finished the irrigation lines on July 1.  Note moved classroom from room 1 to room 13 on June 21. Moved the wall unit on June 24.  July 7 made repairs to cove base in room 1 and room 14. Move basically complete July 8.

 Got a very late start with the garden this year. I had students plant some vegetables plants in April but the chickens got to them. I stopped by my new favorite store 99 cents + in Glendora and picked up some 6 packs of plants in June. We planted corn, zucchini, cucumbers, strawberries, and the blackberry plant was going wild with berries.

Zucchini picked the first 3 zucchinis today!
