Destin - lower elementary                                                     

I really liked pulling the strawberries that were growing over the edges of the strawberry bed. After we pulled the extra strawberries we replanted the plants in peat pots. The peat pots are biodegradeable so when we take the strawberry plants home we can plant them directly in the ground. This way we don't disturb the roots.

We also harvested the largest garlic plant from both of our garlic beds and took them back to the classroom with some turnips. Each student chopped up a piece of turnip. Ms. Susan and Farmer Edwin sauteed the turnips with a little garlic and olive oil. I liked the turnips ok but they were sour.
