Measuring Growth....

A few different summer classes have been using the garden as a way to practice their measuring skills. One group has been measuring vegetables each week, keeping track of how much they're growing, and another group measuring the perimeter of the garden to figure out its area: 2400 square feet!

Meanwhile, Across Town...

Along with the RMS garden, I've also been helping out with Vermont Achievement Center's garden, working with kids who are part of the Kaleidoscope camp. We've been doing all kinds of things: planting potatoes, doing soil art, seeding kale and cabbage, and of course, lots of weeding! While the resident groundhog has utterly destroyed all the squash and beans, other veggies, especially the tomatoes and corn, are thriving. Check out these onions we picked last week!
