Fall Harvest Time

 

 This Friday Terra Centre students harvested all of the Discovery Garden bounty that students planted in June. Items harvested included luffa gourd squash, okra,  beans, tomatoes, cantelope, and African cucumber which were grown in the slave gardens at Monticello. Our cotton crop is still growing and will be harvested in early November. Students also planted our winter crop including winter wheat, chard, brussel sprouts, spinach, garlic, and onions. 4th graders will be canning green tomatoes this week and pre-school will use the luff gourds to make sponges that they will use for painting.
