The third grade classes in our school won a grant to grow cabbage plants. Some of them are being donated to our school garden so we can have a cabbage patch! We have never grown cabbage before but we are willing to try!

This year I am combining a garden activity with a citizen science project. I will be introducing children to the Great Sunflower Project and we will plant sunflowers here at the library and also plant smaller sunflowers in containers that participants can take home. We then hope to watch pollinators and report our findings.

This year I will be strongly encouraging our teachers to better prepare for the summer gardens. Many of our gardens go fallow over the summer so I have been experimenting with ways to help mitigate this problem. We will be utilizing cover crops, sweet potato slips, covering with plastic and covering with mulch. I am really hoping to get a bunch of sweet potato slips prepared for them to plant. We live in a climate that I believe they could plant the sweet potatoes before leaving for the summer and get them established before they leave, then they could come back to a weed free bed. Once they dig the sweet potatoes out (which have edible leaves by the way) then their beds will have been turned and ready for their fall crops! So I will be trying to push for this summer garden solution.

Great idea!  You might also try beans.  They don't need any real attention in the summer and the students can pick and eat when they go back to school.

I am trying something new and ambitious next week! I will be leading a Chefcitos (kids cooking class) and the theme is Spring Snacks! I have decided to make use of some of the carrots in our garden and will be gathering some other ingredients to teach kids how to make veggie spring rolls and spa water (which is water with herbs and chopped fruit in it). I tested a recipe at home that is delicious so I hope the kids enjoy it too!
