Feeding Angels Preschool Garden!

Angels in the Making Preschool

Last Friday, we harvested nearly our entire lunch from the garden. We picked and shredded the zuchinni to make the zuchinni bread. Then had yellow and red tomatoes, green bell peppers, and cucumbers. We did have to buy our protein from the store, but I'm thinking chickens to lay us some eggs!

Gardening with children gets them active and outside, teaches science and math skills, but it also teaches them patience when watching and waiting for the pumpkins to develop.

Pictures from Planting Season

Can you guess what we will be doing with these?

Working hard to get it flat for the seeds.

You could use an empty tennis ball container to plant root vegetable seeds. We planted these the same day we put the seeds in the ground so we could observe what is happening underground. Then we nailed them to the post.

Planting the vertical garden!

We had to decide how much soil to put in each pocket.

We had to figure a way to get at the top pockets, since our hanger is longer than the fence. Then we had to use balance to reach the top spots.

We learned new vocabulary words like 'heaping' 1/2 cup.

We drew on what we have learned in the past about watering the seeds once they were planted to make them grow.

This is what it looks like when it is all planted.
