So, I was supposed to plant potatoes today, but it was rainy when I woke up, so I have decided to delay the grand event til next week. I emailed Mrs. Lummus and she thought it best to delay anyways- she thinks it is still too early to plant. So, I hope to come through with my plan next week. I did purchase the potatoes though: One pack of Yukon Gold, one of Superior, and one of Pontiac. I have also purchased onion seeds, brocolli seeds, and swiss chard seeds. Perhaps this time around, my garden will be more successful. It was successful at first, but then bad weather showed up, which was obviously impossible to prevent. Anyway, this past week, I did clear out the rest of the dead plants from the beds. Surprisingly enough, some raddishes were still growing, but I uprooted them anyways. There is still cabbage, but I'm not quite sure when the right time to pick it is. I'll need to research that because they look ready to harvest.
I also really need to start thinking about which snacks to purchase for the lowerschool "Healthy Snack Week". As I've said before, this week will probably be the week before adventure week and I did contact a local organic farmer who said she would come speak to the lower school. I need to get that date set in stone and talk to Mrs. Locke about a good time. I also need to email Mrs. Ledbetter soon so she can put in a small advertisement in the Knightly News reminding parents to sent their kids with money during this week. The poster contest is still on for each class! All they have to do is create a poster promoting a healthy lifestyle and I will be the judge! I'm not sure what they will win yet, but it'll be something good. Tomorrow is senior club day and we will be watching part of FoodInc, which I am quite excited about! I ordered it on Amazon on Tuesday and it has arrived just in time! That's all for now, folks! Until next Thursday night.
Your radishes were quite tasty. You forgot to mention that you also bought rubarb seeds because you are going to make a rubarb pie. I am looking forward to Food Inc. tomorrow but I hope I still have my appetite for lunch after watching it.
