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.

Tree Grafting
The start to the week was stressful and fast paced as we rushed to finish the greenhouse. It was a success and we now have plants stored in the greenhouse. After things slowed down Kody and I began searching for a way to graft trees and we are currently grafting a wild blackberry bush. There will be more to come next week.

So my tomatoes has taken a big turn. Before I went on our school trip my plants were fine and when I came back they were destroyed. I found moss in mine so I had to empty out all the containers of tomatoes and put transplant them all of them into new containers. Which took the whole class period. I had to take them out the soil, take off the bad dirt and loosen the roots. Then I put dirt in the bigger pots and placed the plants in them. The next day I watered all of them but they took 30minutes so I only got to water six and the others the next day. The next day I decided to water my lettuce and they are growing really well EXCEPT they were too close together. Yesterday I transplanted the lettuce so that theres 4 plants in a square. I had 2 squares and now I have 6 squares and I had to throw a lot of plants out. But I did give some to my teacher. So today we were going to plant tomato seeds but instead we were told to go outside and help with the greenhouse and I also watered my plants.
