We have just completed our first year of summer and fall gardening. Woot! Woot! We harvested 6 small heads of cabbage, two handfuls of cilantro and a couple dozen short stubby carrots and delivered our haul to the Forest Park Ministry Center on Wednesday of last week. Overall I give our first garden a B+. As we evaluate the learning garden I think we will find that we achieved some of our goals and missed on a few as well. There are plenty of areas to expand on what we did right and improve on what didn't go so right. I'm proud of our children and their hard work and willingness to help in the garden any time we asked. I'm looking forward to how much better our garden will be in 2012.
In February and March we will be continuing to build our compost so the soil for April's planting will be rich and full of nutrients. So keep the egg shells, used coffee grounds and raw vegetable peelings headed our way!
