YUMMY......

Pictures of Kathie Waldron's class harvesting veggies from the garden, 

cleaning and preparing a salad, 

and enjoying the finished product.

Let's see what else is growing on this last day of school......

Corn beginning to grow...

Like a good sister, 

beans are wrapping around the corn to protect it...

And beans on the tee pee are beginning to flower and will turn into fruit soon...

The tomatoes are getting taller...they must be indeterminate tomatoes.

Cucumbers are spreading...

Beet leaves keep growing, regardless of how many we thinned and ate!

The edible flowers and nasturtium leaves are delicious too.

A bulging radish, ready to be picked...

We enjoyed tasting some broccoli last week, here is more...

don't expect it to get large, like supper market size.

Zucchini ...

See the zucchini growing at the end of the flower?

Cucumbers are starting to bloom too!

How can you tell the difference between a true leaf and a seed leaf?

The seed leaves are always the first set of leaves to come up out of the soil, 

for most plants they're very rounded looking 

and many plants will look almost identical at this stage.

Seed leaves nourish the new sprout until it can photosynthesize its own food. 

The first few sets of true leaves don't always look like the plant's adult foliage, but they are still considered true leaves. The first set of true leaves will be pretty obvious, you won't miss it. 

Be patient, sometimes plants will sit there with just the seed leaves for a little while.

OOOOOH, LOOK....

Beans are growing up the teepee fast now...

A baby budding string bean....the first ones.

So much is growing!!!

LET'S CHECK BACK WITH THE THIRD GRADE'S CABBAGE PLANTS...

The third graders were excited to receive their Bonnie Mega Cabbage before spring break.  

In 10-12 weeks the plants will have full heads ready to be harvested.

The growth of Mrs. Rella's cabbage over the last two months is seen in pictures below.  

Stay tuned to see how big it gets....

Calling all third graders!!!  

Please submit photos of you and your cabbage to redwoodschoolgarden@gmail.com
