Preparing the School's Greenhouse
& Winter Garden

Mr. Peabody and Mrs. Exo have been working to prepare the school greenhouse and starting a “Winter Garden”.  We have started lettuce, swiss chard, spinach, purple mizuna, pizzo mustard, astro arugula, red Russian kale, cilantro, watermelon radish and peas.   As you can see by the photos, the plants have started germinating.  We will be keeping track of the low temperatures at night (low temperature Thursday night was 30 degrees) and the high temperatures during the day (high temperature on Thursday was 80 degrees).  When it gets really cold, we will cover our plants with row covers.
