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.

Finally a new post.
Well its been a while since I posted so I hope I catch up with everything. The salvias have been replanted and are now grown to nice sizes. They reached a size where we can almost sell them. The greenhouse which we have been working on for a long time is finally usable. All we need to do is put down gravel on the bottom and we're good to go. The benches needed for our green house are now all in stock also and all the plants have been moved from Mr. Hardin's room to outside. The hot bed is now being used as garden space for the squash that I just planted, and although they haven't sprouted yet it seems that they are doing just fine. I didn't plant the squash in just a hot bed though, i planted one of them in an old tire full of soil just to see how it would do. Unfortunately it dries out very fast, but it should be fine. Finally I'll talk about the potatoes. They are growing at a fast steady rate. One is doing amazing while the other is holding the rest back. The other two are about the same, just chilling in the middle.
