2024
Planting in the beds began in the third week of June; however, OEE ’24 students started tomatoes and peas in April, STEM students planted various herbs in the pots in April, and the coreopsis and black hollyhock returned from 2023.
The seeds sown directly in the ground have 50-70 day growth spans, so they should be harvestable by the end of September. To increase variety in future years, begin direct sowing earlier or start more seedlings, such as peppers, in the Spring term.
We also focused on the Nestled Garden to prevent over committing and to continue the expansions efforts throughout the year. We planted:
- beans
- beets
- carrots
- cucumber (from starter)
- lettuce
- marigolds
- nasturtiums
- radishes
- tomatos (from starter)
