Covenant Classical Gardens

Welcome to the Covenant Classical Gardens! We have an exciting year ahead of us and our botany class will be taking advantage of the warm weather the Lord has provided us with! Our compost bin is now completed, and the greenhouse tables are under construction. A tiller was finally provided and we prepared the soil so we can begin planting our greens. Adam Jackson's orchard project has been completed and it is now our job to ensure that we maintain his work, and God's creation.

Today I watered mine and Emily's pepper plants, then Rachel and I went about the school in search of more pots and baskets for our herbs. We came back very successful. We found 8 baskets and one pot. Tomorrow hopefully I'll be able to get some soil so that the herbs can be planted.

The pots were a good find. Good work. I think we might need to put some type of liner in them. They are a little flimsy, but will look great cleaned up.
