This morning 6 Summer
Stretch kids from the Woodbury UMC came to help in the garden. Our two
big tasks were planting some ornamental peppers and weeding the carrots.
The peppers had been donated by the Hugo Feed Mill and the instructions were to
plant them in a certain order (we think by color). We spent some time
putting them into that order in their little pots and then getting them into
the garden in that order.
Then we tackled the carrots, which had to be both weeded and thinned. We used plastic forks to help loosen the weeds, but some of those weeds were too tough for the forks and they broke. But we had perseverance and hand pulled those nasty weeds and gave those carrots space to grow.
We finished by having some delicious watermelon – Yum!
