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.

Okay, so, this week pretty much flew by! On Monday when we came back from break, Michelle and I were greeted with our greener and MUCH taller plants! The cucumbers are looking amazing...they have grown so much this past week. One problem we did notice was tiny white insects on our Zinnias. I did a little research and found that they could possibly be whiteflies, which tend to nest in greenhouses specifically on Zinnias. I read on a particular website that soapy water helps kill these insects; however, it only works on the adult bugs. Sometime next week, we need to treat the plants and see if it works.
