Wescosville Garden June 22 and 24th

What a difference 2 months makes! Here are some pictures of the garden taken earlier this week. The broccoli and cauliflower plants that the students planted in April are now ready to pick.

The bamboo trellises you see were erected in late April to support climbing bean vines. If you look closely at the pictures below you can see the tendrils of the bean plants just starting to grab hold. Hopefully, by the end of summer we'll have bean vine arches at both ends of the garden rows.

Welcome to Winkle's Garden

Welcome to the blog for the Wescosville Outdoor Classroom Garden. The first planting in the garden took place on Earth Day, April 22, 2009. Several classes helped plant a variety of vegetable seedlings, including broccoli, cauliflower, beets and lettuce. A few zinnias were also planted among the rows as beneficial companion plants that will help keep undesireable insects away.
