What's it Worth

                                              Now it's time for Garden N Grow News!

We were assaulted by swarms of cucumber beetles when we walked through the garden this morning. We captured many of them with duct tape. Other than that the gardens look awesome!We found thousands (really? thousands?) of tiny squash bug and cucumber beetle eggs on one zucchini plant but don't worry we did our best to remove them.

In other news some deer are eating our beans. Here is a picture of the damage.

Todays lesson was called "What's It Worth".  We weighed today's harvest, then we looked through grocery store ads to find prices.  Then we calculated how much our harvest was worth.  Harvest times unit cost = how much we saved by growing our own!  We harvested several dollars worth of produce today.

For the craft today we made visors out of craft foam, decorated with stickers and colored markers. Here is Duncan in his visor coming out of the classroom.
