Odyssey Orchards

3rd grade was treated to a rare snake sighting in the garden this morning.

Things are popping up in the greenhouse.

There were pleas for seconds and thirds. 1st grade is excited about salad! Too beautiful not to post.

Lettuce, kale, arugula, peas, fennel, nasturtium, grapefruit, radish. And, we even found some ripe tomatoes. Beautiful winter.

What information can be found on a seed packet? Fourth grade finds out.

Converting the old chicken tractor into a greenhouse. A gardener always has to be thinking ahead - started our peppers and tomatoes for spring planting.

Thanks to a donation from Dixondale Farms, we are planting around 100 bulb onions in the garden this week.

A late bean harvest. Who knows, maybe they’ll end up in someone’s stone soup!

So much going on in the garden. Seed dissecting and diagramming, soil studies, lizard homes, cooking, and row building. Just a snapshot!

Fourth grade is asking the questions: Do seeds need soil to germinate? Do seeds need light to germinate?

Selecting plants, engineering the space, preparing the soil - 6th grade students tend to the “farm plot.”
