It was hot and dry in the garden today. The young gardeners found these squash bug eggs. Several of the eight-ball zucchini squash plants have developed powdery mildew.

Today's lesson was "Fruit or Veggie". The students learned that many of the foods they know as vegetables are botanically fruit. If it has seeds, it's a fruit. Tomatos, squash, cucumbers - as well as apples, cantelope and peaches - all fruit!
After the lesson the gardeners painted picture frames to hold pictures of their gardens.
