Garden Pests and Beneficial Insects

10/29/2018

0 Comments

 
We learned about some garden pests that may cause our plants to not growi as we wish such as aphids, cut worms, ants, and grasshoppers.  We also learned about beneficial ones such as worms, butterflies, and bees.  Plus there are some that are in between good and bad such as the Milk Weed beetle that helps keep the weed from getting out of hand and the caterpillar, such as the Monarch, that eats the Milk Weed leaves in order to become butterflies.  We then went all around our garden to see what we could find.

With the weather still warm but the hope of cooler weather to come soon, we planted some lettuce and chard. We learned how to not plant to low or too high.

Kellogg Garden Soil Donation

Students worked hard today to clean out debris from the garden plots and add more garden soil. The soil was donated by Kellogg and has been a great resource for our garden.  We have been able to add some additional garden plots using garden frames donated from Mr. List of Sylmar High School.

Onion Harvest

10/1/2018

Today we learned some fun facts about onions.  We learned that onions are bulbs, 95% water,  you can eat both the onion tops and the bulb, pilgrims brought them to North America, and more.  Last school year, onions were planted in one of the garden plots.  Today we got to harvest them.  There were about 12.  We raffled the onions off since there were not enough onions for everyone to take them home.

We also worked at removing weeds from our Butterfly Garden and Hope Garden.  We enjoy seeing butterflies visit our garden.

A few students assisted parent volunteer, Mr. Rios, build garden plots.  These new garden plots will give our students more places to plant.

To prepare for our winter garden, we added some new soil to our plots.
