Video of our students seeding the greenhouse

Fall 2009 is the first season we will be using our new greenhouse. Each student has their own 3.5 foot by 12 foot raised bed. We are seeding three varieties of winter hardy spinach and four varieties of winter hardy lettuce. The goal is to grow and harvest greens into the winter without using any heat.

Harvesting Potatoes, garlic, onions, and swiss chard: Fall 2009





Students dug potatoes, as well as harvested onions, garlic, and swiss chard from the U-32 garden. All the food harvested is being used in the school cafeteria. Students not only harvest the crops but also weighed them so we can track total yield for each season.
