The Rain Game

The boys' gardening class ends for the year at the end of August.  Now that school is back in session, the class has gotten very small.  But that works for us!  Less behavior issues and a lot more food to take home!!!

Last week's class was called "The Rain Game".  The classroom portion of the class had to do with how rain helps plants grow.  The kids also did an experiment where the created rain using a mason jar, plate, very hot water, and ice.  The class was so small that the kids stood at Ms. Lisa's table the who time as she talked to them.

After talking about rain, it was time to harvest the few remaining items in the garden.  The groundhog that lives under one of the old houses near the garden ate the majority of the remaining food (including the watermelons and pumpkins).

But there were still potatoes and some tomatoes.

The kids split the harvest between the six kids or so that came to class that day.  We ended up with a ton!
