We are turning a 100% profit on our lettuce plantings this fall! One of our parents intercepted a worker at a gardening center taking all their seeds to the dumpster :P She acted quickly and decisively and saved us $100 on seeds for fall planting. I should be able to use the spring planting seeds as well. I will just have to check for germination early in the year to make sure it is all still viable but not a bad trade-off for an underfunded program!
I am also excited to say that all of those lettuce, spinach and kale seeds are safely in the ground and sprouting their delicious leaves for our Fall Luncheon. All of our students (~645) have been through the gardens for a lesson and planting. They will monitor and measure growth over the next couple of months and then harvest to share with our community in November.
