It is quiet while the students are gone for the summer. I am always a little sad that they aren't there to see all the fruits of their labor! If school were held from October through July instead, we would have eaten sweet corn, juicy tomatoes and spicy peppers. We could have harvested squash blossoms and hoped to eat a melon before the resident opossum(s) ate them! Our helpers came and did summer cleanup, planted the new banana and papaya trees, harvested the last of the potatoes, and built our new enclosure for the Aquaponics System. Eagle Scout, and former student, Lap, made us two new tables for our Edible Schoolyard. Our various residents had a good summer as well - enjoying the fruits, flowers, and vegetables that the students planted!
