Spring Garden

We have started to plant our Spring garden! Unfortunately last season ended abruptly with aphids attacking several plants. This season we are trying some techniques we learned at Tanaka Farms to avoid this problem. So far we have planted broccoli,  onions, carrots, zinnias,  and cilantro. Each child will be able to help out at least once a week, learning all the skills needed to keep a garden.

January Update

Our Zucchini plants ended up not producing any more and withered and died as the weather grew colder. We harvested a handful of radishes and we continue to watch our beans, carrots and lettuce grow. Our bean plants have flowers and our lettuce is just about ready to pick. Can't wait!
