What's It Worth?

Today the students learned the worth of the produce they are harvesting. We looked at sale ads from local newspapers, and determined the cost of our produce by weight or unit.   The math got a little tricky!


The gardens didn't need watering today, for the first time since our second week!  The plants look good, but our harvest has been low this year.  That is partly due to the weather, deer and other pests, and the squash we lost early to powdery mildew.  The zucchini and okra have done the best, and the young gardeners have pulled up several onions.

The class painted picture frames to hold pictures of their gardens.  Then they worked on thank you notes.
