Day 27!

Tomatoes

Sunflower!!

Today me and Rachel both worked in the garden. When I arrived she had begun to water the plants. Also on campus were the landscapers who were multching and weeding areas around campus so we were limited in what we could do. So we ended up deadheading around campus watering and pruning the front entrance.

Day 26!

The new bed!

A pretty gourd.

Half dead but pretty!

Today I did routine work around the garden by watering and weeding. I walked around campus and weeded the driveway area.

In the garden I covered the exposed root vegetables with more soil and fertilizer to makes sure they can grow to the fullest.

When I picked the tomatoes off of the vine to set them aside I realized how many tomatoes we have. I have never seen that many cherry tomatoes in my life!!!!!!

Day 25

Flowers

Green Tomatoes

Tomattoes!

Sorry guys! Forgot to mention that I was going on vacation for a week!

But now I'm back and came back to find the garden almost the same. The winter squash that was wilting was gone! The bed was new and had healthy lettuce and beans growing.

I watered and weeded and had a friend stop by (a pleasant surprise) who helped weed the areas between the beds.

It was nice to see the garden growing well.

Day 24!

Today I worked in the garden picking the fresh tomattoes off the vine and placing them in a obvious spot so teachers and faculty could collect some fresh produce :).

I also spent a good amount of time weeding in the garden.

I made a decision that because the fence surronding the winter squash was falling over I would take it out of the garden and try to help the plants grow.

Day 23

Sunflowers are growing tall!

The wilted winter squash :(

Pumpkins are growing!!!!

Today (thursday) i spent the day waist deep fighting the weeds along the driveway. I also made the decision to take the wire fence out of the winter squash because the fence was no longer supporting the plants and rather being pulled down on top of them due to the wait of the wilting plants. After getting all the squash free I learned that I was alergic to the plant and broke out in little hives all over.

Day 22!

Today I spent the day weeding and deadheading my way through campus. I did not get to the driveway thats what I will tackle tomorrow. The Winter Squash wilting more and more everyday, I'm not sure what to do besides put more fertalizer on the plants and giving them water. Hopefully they will improve.

TOMORROW PICTURES WILL COME

Day 21!

Yesterday I took a break so I have to add one hour to my work today, Wednesday and Thursday.
Today I worked in the garden picking the ripe tomatoes and a few green beans. I also spent a good portion of my time just watering the garden because over the weekend and Monday the garden seemed to dry out somewhat. I also spent time fertilizing the beds and putting fresh soil in the beet and onion beds because the vegetables were visible.
