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.

This week has been a very successful week. Grace, Chloe, and I shredded the cardboard for the compost pile, then Grace, Chloe, Kody, and I and added water throughout the week to it to keep moist. Grace, Chloe, and I also finished the posters to help make the kids more aware of what they put into the bin and we created a power point presentation for the grammar school chapel. The only problem is that Mrs. Cross, the lady in charge of the chapels says that the speakers for next two weeks have already been secured, so either we must present the week after the next two, or cut our presentation down to five minutes. If we wait two more weeks, we will be giving up some very valuable composting materials, as it takes a lot of organic matter to break down into a small pile of nutrient-rich soil. We also spoke with Mrs. Elkins and Mrs. Kuhn about the grass cuttings, but they said we won't have any until around April, and they will keep us posted.
