What I Learned This Week

I missed my gardeners!  I gardened all by myself on Friday, 10:00-12:00.   I cultivated, weeded, and fertilized the plants in the gardens.  I also placed tomato cages around the tomato plants.  The scarecrow's head had fallen off so I reattached it with duct tape.  Then I sprinkled organic deer/rabbit repellant around all of the gardens.  I ate my picnic lunch and really missed my gardeners.

There's lots to do when you are a gardener.  You are invited to garden, with your parents, any time at Brooks but I will be in the Brooks garden every Friday, from 10:00-12:00. Also, every class is responsible for gardening during one week in the summer. Please read the schedule below.  If you would like to continue working in the garden, come in during your assigned week to weed, water, and harvest crops that are ready to pick.

This week, I also learned you might want to store the bottle of deer repellent outside, as far from the area as possible, because it really stinks when it is stored in the Mobile Garden Shed.

Because of the constant rainfall, we have our own little water feature in the garden area.  Some might call it a gutter, downspout, and large puddle but it sounds like the calming flow of a creek.
