Plant a Pizza

Tuesday's gardening class was titled "Plant a Pizza".  So the kids got to plant several ingredients typically used to make pizza - tomatoes, green bell & banana peppers, and lots of herbs.  At the beginning of class, we talked about herbs and passed around some leaves to smell.

I'm pretty sure the boys were just copying some of the other kids but they acting as if everything smelled horrible!

There was basil, rosemary, and several kinds of mint.

Next we went into the garden.  Before planting we checked on the progress of some of the things that had been planted at the previous classes.

The potatoes are starting to come up!  Can you see the green leaves in this box?

Evie, Rylan, and Carter with the pepper plants.  Carter and Evie have bell peppers and Rylan has a banana pepper plant.

Ms. Lisa made a circular garden and split it into four "pieces".  Two sections were for peppers and two were for herbs.  The tomato plants went into the center.

Before we were done, the kids all got to plant a few itty-bitty cucumber plants.  They had just sprouted from their seeds so you can barely see them in front of Carter.
