The Garden Now Returns to School

Some of the "Garden Care Group" taking a break on a hot summer day.

The refreshing and nourishing rain fell this weekend in our school garden. Earlier in the week I popped over to see how things were going, and it was evident that other hands had weeded here and there. The garden looked weary of such extremely high heat day after day, but the cotton plant had shot up so it's taller than me now. The tomatoes and peppers all had unripe babies just beginning to grow. The figs had been harvested (by birds or by people, I don't know). But this last week in the garden was very peaceful.


Soon the children will be back and the garden will be filled with laughter and giggles and wonder.  The garden thrives on that as much as it does on sun and rain.


For now this blog ends...our task of tending the garden over the summer is finished. Thanks to all for helping it grow so well.
