“A
Proper ‘French Onion Soup’ Garden
Another day, another workshop!
Today we really got things going for the gardens.
First of all, we did our FIRST harvest of the year. Which consisted of onions and garlic that was coming up from the previous year. That was an exciting surprise 😊

The trimmings that were collected
will be turned into a pesto of sorts.
Once those onions were cleared out of the bed, students planted fresh onions for this year. A WHOLE BED OF ONIONS! Yum! Such a good idea- onions can go in just about everything. Including (as one student added) “a proper French onion soup”. Where you really must let the soup simmer for an extended period of time.
While a group of students stayed outside taking care
of the onions and measuring the beds, another group was inside planting seeds.
Starting seeds is always fun! You get to look at all the packages and pick veggies that look delicious. Then you get your hands dirty and fill up your seed trays. And then you take your tiny little seeds and plant them. The rule of thumb is to plant the seed 3 times as deep as it's size. You can imagine for some seeds that isn't very deep at all.
It was a fun and productive day!
