June 22. We learned about photosynthesis. In an experiment we are putting cardboard over the leaves to see if this makes a difference in how the plant grows. In the garden ,we had lots of weeds to pull. Our teepee fell over on our Three Sisters project. Only have the corn, beans and squash came up so we had to replant. Hopefully when the beans start to need a place to vine we will have a new teepee ready. We have beans and okra showing. The tomatoes , peppers , cucumbers and squash have blossoms already.
Bob Cronkleton from the KC Star interviewed Marlin, Jeff, the students and the parents. He is doing a video article on our Garden N Grow program. I don't know when it will appear but will keep you updated.
On the 24th of June Marlin will teach us about the different kind of soils. It is going to be very hot so we will be out in the garden first. Cass
