If you missed the first class, you missed playing in the dirt! Actually is correctly called 'soil,' but dirt sounds more fun. We had everyone involved with transplanting, and planting seeds in slot trays. I will bring some of the plants back each week so you can see the progress. We will also have seed packets again for .25 each. We will run the snack buffet down both sides of a table next Monday to speed things up. We covered a lot of material in the first week. We don't have time to go too in depth on most subjects, but I try to share the 5-10 most important aspects of each topic that we do cover.
Here are some of the 'students' transplanting tomato and pepper seedlings. Great job!
The folks on the left were planting seeds, and the ones one the right making sure the transplanters get it right! We also had a drawing for some homeade garden gadgets. The world is waiting for me to patent them and get them in production. What are they? Glad you asked. Well, we had the section of 'fence lattice,' to use as a planting grid, for spacing plants. A seed planting grid made out of old lumber and a piece of chicken wire. A planting stick, to keep your seed planting straight, a planter duster, made out of pantyhose (my personal favorite), the 'fruit scrap trap,' and my .99 plant cloche.
