Homeschoolers and Gardening...the Best!!

 Thursday - February 5, 2026 saw an influx of 25 youngsters from a home-school group at the garden.  Some of the kids were late and didn't make it into the photo op at the beginning of our garden experience.

Everyone helped give the onions a "haircut" so more energy could be put into growing the bulb of the onions.  There were a lot of onions to trim!

They got to sample kale and broccoli, and discovered that fresh broccoli is really good to eat, including the stems!!  They thought the really long leaf of kale sticking out of my mouth looked like a green tongue!

And, of course, it takes lot ot work to get the beds ready to plant, so they helped with digging the walkways and throwing the dirt into the beds...

While the kids were planting the peanut bed (oops, no pictures!) the moms helped rake the beet bed that the kids just planted.
