After all their hard work, the kids are sliding down the home stretch. First they pulled their sweet onions and next week?
Potato mania! The kids can’t wait to roast them with their leftover sweet onions and rosemary. Mmmmm…. Until then, they had to maintain. Let the weeding begin!
Promising them a bit of the fluffiest-carrot-cake-ever ( the remainder of Monday’s post) proved an excellent motivator. Totally unfair of me, I know–but totally effective! Those weeds didn’t stand a chance against these guys!
While weeding, we noticed our black beans are forming pods. When they darken to purple, that’s our sign to harvest.
We trained our cucumbers to climb the fence, as we expect a full wall of bounty come May.
And of course our tomatoes are gorgeous. Something about the dirt on this school ground puts my home garden to shame. Would you look at these?
Mine at home are not even half the size (and I loaned the kids some of MY tomato sprouts!). Go figure. At that, I’ll leave you with their black eye peas.
They too are flourishing. Unfortunately, I don’t know too many recipes for fresh black eye peas which means I’ll have to rely on tradition. Now if only I can find that ham hock I bought for New Year’s…
