Today was a successful Saturday workday. The gardens are growing along very
nicely.
It is amazing to visit a garden
after not being there for a week and see how it has grown. It almost seems as if they are growing all on
their own.
The truth is these gardens and vegetables are growing with
all the efforts that are put into them through our students and volunteers. This is why there is continued noticeable
growth every time we revisit each garden.
The tomatoes and bean plants at Sanderlin were all growing
substantially, but not in the best direction.
The bean plants and tomatoes all needed a little effort to get them
propped up and supported to grow in the right direction.
Our great team of volunteers at Sanderlin today propped up all
the plants and used bamboo to give them support. It took some work and patience to untangle
all of the plants leaves, stems and stalks.
Once this was done though the plants were all headed in the right
direction, ready to grow upwardly and produce yields.
Just like our vegetables the kids all need a little prop up
and support. These gardens provide that
prop up and support for the kids and just like untangling the plants it takes
some work and patience. It may not be
obvious, but by tying those plants close to a strong a bamboo stick that can guide
and support their growth, they are doing the same for the kids.
Thank you to all of our volunteers for propping them up, guiding
them with a little support in the right direction so that they can grow and
progress.
If you did not make it out to this Saturdays workday come
out and join us on December 14th at 8:00 A.M. at Campbell Park Elementary School.
