Community Garden a better Healthy life…
In this picture you can
see how my friends
are working hard
moving the soil. We
used wheelbarrow to
transfer the soil. We
were doing this to
plant some plants in
the pots.
Students were putting the
soil in the pots to plant
some seeds and then to
water them. If you don’t
water the seeds maybe
the plants are not going to
come out. It’s important
to water the plants
because like this they can
grow faster.
Students love a lot of fruits such as apples or peaches. Also they were planting vegetables like swiss chards and carrots. I will say about this picture that students love to be in the garden and also they love to be planting seeds in the soil.
Cutting the potatoes…
In here you can see how the
guys are cutting the potatoes so
they can get dry and then you
can plant them in the soil.
Students were planning a
model to build it and then
plant some seeds in the
completed bed. Before to
build this they were talking
about which one they can
create and this one right
here was the one that they
chose. This day I felt so
happy because we created a
safe place for the plants to
grow.
Here we are trying to build the
model in groups. If I will do
this next time I will build it
bigger to plant more plants.
I’m very proud of this because
my friends and me did this
with all the effort that you can
put into it.
Planning how to build the
model.
Here you can see how the plants
are growing so fast and getting
color too.
Here students are trying to
harvest the plants that are
ready to eat.
This is an eggplant that we harvested
on the garden. After this you can take
the eggplant to your home and cook it
if you want to.
In this picture you can see all the
kind of eggplants that we planted.
The best thing that happened this
day was when we started to harvest
all this eggplants.
Watermelon
When the vegetables
or the fruits are ready
to eat we share it
together in the garden.
I will improve next
time to leave the fruits
more time growing
because the bigger
that it is the tastier
and sweeter it will
be…
Also we love to cook in the garden with
the produce that we planted. We made a
soup together of a squash, coconnut
milk, onions, limes, peppers, and green
onions.
