Friend Can You Spare a Tomato

We found more problems in the garden today.  These nymphs will grow up to be squash bugs.

This zucchini was healthy last week.  This looks like the work of a squash vine borer.







Even with the pest problems the young gardeners harvested over 17 pounds of produce to donate to a local food bank!

The class took their donation to Lutheran Ministries Food Bank, where they learned how food is distributed to people who need it.
 
After the field trip, everyone wrote thank you notes to some people who have helped the class.  They also made invitations for their parents to a Garden Party.
