Hot Weather Veggies

The verdict is in; this summer we will focus on three main veggie types for the garden. Tomatoes, peppers and eggplants will be planted on the south side of the Everett School. These beds get hot, hot, hot and these plants love heat. Basil will be companion planted along with the veggies. The garden currently has eight different types of herbs and some beautiful perennials.

There are also two different types of sunflowers ready to be planted along with marigolds.

We will plant these on June 1st at 7pm. Bring your shovel and join the fun!

Thank you to students at Indianola Informal School who constructed the greenhouses and started the seeds. The Community Garden Club at Everett School has also received donations from Wayward Seed farm (thanks for the greenhouses,) and parents and community members in Columbus! Here's to a great growing season.
