Planting

Planting

 2VC students have a continual cycle running through the gardening curriculum. Although students may perhaps plant seeds in the spring, they may or may not taste the results of their efforts. Early spring and summer planting of lettuce or peas may yield a tasting prior to the end of the school year. However, tomato and pumpkin plants will not produce a product until the following fall. Students begin the spring season planting seeds of cauliflower, lettuce, radishes and peas. Early spring flowers such as pansies and marigolds are planted in the garden to attract bees, birds or butterflies encouraging pollination. General weeding and soil preparation follow as we ready the garden for the season to come.
