RENT-A-HEN

03/01/2023

Sometimes you just need some time in the dirt….today we planted potatoes, broccoli, Brussel sprouts, carrots, onions, cabbage, collards, and a variety of lettuces. Most important we had time together and the kids learned about planting and caring for a garden to provide food for the table. They learned about amending soil, fertilizing, and different techniques of planting.
