Plan a visit to the garden

Cameron watering Mrs. Briseno's butterfly garden. There's lots of tomatoes to harvest! Come pull a few weeds, collect trash, and enjoy the garden while you collect some produce! It's quite nice in the morning!

Tomatoes waiting to be picked!
                             
 Every time we visit the garden Mrs. Morris's bed has something new blooming!


 Our climbing garden has some giant gourds, cucumbers, and squash growing in them!

This beautiful Swallowtail was visiting today!

I Spy...

Mrs. Gavin and I pulled a bucket full of weeds this Wednesday! In the process we found lots of surprises! Come out and see what you can find!

 Above: Lots of cucumbers - there should be some regular sized ones ready next week! 
Below: tomatoes and peppers from the Salsa Garden - lots of tomatoes should be turning red next week as well!

Pick some crops for home - Cost: just pull some weeds and water our garden (watch for wasps and bees that are busy pollinating!)
