The snow is still flying, but Turnip the Beet garden club is moving forward regardless! A big thank you goes out to Coast of Maine for a generous donation of 6 bags of Coast of Maine Blend soil and 8 bags of Bumper Crop soil mix! As soon as things thaw, we'll replenish our hoop house and community garden beds with this fresh soil.
In the meantime, we've already started planting our seedlings! It's a big list, but it includes tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and more! One thing that we're really excited about is the 3-Sisters group planting method. Students are learning about symbiotic plant relationships and polycultures as they plant corn, pole beans and winter squash together.
