Been Missing You

Wow, I'm so sorry. I can't believe that I let two months go by without a post. There has been a lot of activity the last little while around school and the garden so I haven't been finding the time to update all of you.

Just quickly I should let you know that compost day at our school is May 13th. Yes, that's a Friday *insert scary sound.
We are so lucky to have Joe Mihevc as the councilor for our area. He's always up to something that supports the environment.

The school garden is coming along nicely these days. The garlic continues to grow and we now have 3 planting beds that no one has vandalized, yah!!!! I'm thinking of building a fourth bed, so I'll have to get more wood and soil. The students have also really enjoyed being part of the building process... it's starting to spread to other students as well. It would be great if one day we could have a planting bed for each class.

Now we planted some seeds indoors last week, but only a couple have sprouted so I'm starting to worry. We've got some money left in the budget so I may just have to go and buy some seedlings from a garden centre. Our planting day will be May 19th, but more to come on that.
