Our gardens are growing!

July 17, 2019: Garden Update!

St. Cecilia's school gardens are growing well.  We have some beets, sunflowers, potatoes, carrots, and lots of onions.  The broccoli and parsley and green onions we planted are not doing quite as well as we had hoped - but that's ok!  They were new crops for us this year and we are learning!

We plan to plant some radishes in a few empty spaces in the next few weeks that should be ready when students return in September. 

Thanks, as always, to the volunteers that have helped maintain the gardens so far!  Not that we're complaining that summer actually arrived but with all this heat recently, it has been a bit of a challenge keeping the soil from drying up!
