SUMMER UPDATES August 2012

**Greetings... my soon to be first graders.  Kindergarten is but a memory...a good memory!!!  I can not believe the new school year is beginning.  My summer went by so fast.  I bet yours did too!  I will be saying good bye to you and wish you well in your first grade class.  I will be welcoming my brand new class of kindergarten students for 2012-2013.  Here is our last IRVING GARDEN update.  Thanks to all of you who have been coming to harvest the veggies and herbs.  Please continue to do so.  Our zucchini plants are still continuing to produce flowers so we will have more zucchini.  Carrots and potatoes still need some growing time.  There is quite a bit of basil, mint and sage.  The chard and kale are in abundance and are so very tasty.  I have been enjoying that.  There are peppers (jalepino and ancho), cucumbers, zucchini, chives celery, parsley, onion and a few beans that can be harvested.  Also, more baby egg plant will soon be ready.  Have a great weekend!  See you at lunch or in the halls!  School is cool!!!!!
