Planting, Growing, and Selling

The past two weeks Michelle and I have gotten so much accomplished!

Last Friday marked our first greenhouse sale. One of the moms from the school purchased a herb basket and also gave us a nice donation.

We have planted our cucumbers...which are looking fabulous. By the time we come back from Easter break, they should be a lot taller!

Also, we made labels for our herb and flower baskets. On the front we have a picture of the plant at full maturity with its information, while on the back we included a nice recipe for the people to use with the herbs.

When I first transplanted the Lamb's Ear, I was concerned that I had overwatered it too much. However, it is doing good with new growth every day.

Yesterday Michelle and I volunteered to make the signs for the Horticulture class' greenhouse sale. We found a huge dry-erase board in the computer lab and drew on it with all the information of our sale. Sometime soon we need to make posters of the sale that we can post in the ground at the school.

Today we finally tied all of the plant cards to the baskets with some multi-colored string we borrowed from Mr. Taylor. Then we hung our price sheet up from the ribs of the greenhouse so it was easy to see. Pictures of the space coming soon!

This week I came back to find that the inch worms munched the broccoli up pretty bad. So i moved them inside the greenhouse. I also patched up the small hole on the side of the greenhouse with scotch packing tape. I also shoveled more rich black dirt from the area behind the field. We still have not sold a single broccoli plant yet.
We all need Jesus.

Lilies and Droughts

This week in Horticulture, Rachel and I have been working on information cards for our Canna Lilies, Day Lilies, and Red Hot Pokers/ Torch Lilies. We hope to finish them today. Mine and Emily's pepper plants are doing a little bit better. We let them go through a drought for awhile but now we are watering them again. I watered them for the first time yesterday. Hopefully they will go back to normal soon!

Work Before Break...

Kirstie and I have been working on labeling our plants. Also, making note cards informing people what to do after they take them home. The Green Ice Lettuce that Kaylyn and I have been growing looks amazing! They are huge now! Also, our coleus which had started to look wilted have begun to perk back up. Today Kirsite and I plan on finishing our note cards...and then out for a whole week for Easter break! :)

The Coleus is well revived

The Coleus is well revived from its previous slump, and is now being sold for $2! Also the lettuce is looking pretty yummy! - km

Tomatoes were sold!!!!

This weekend some of the tomatoes were sold for $2-$3. My tomatoes are doing very well comparing to the state it was on 2 weeks ago. I also planted more tomato seeds and they are some starting to sprout (which is a good sign).
My butternut lettuce are doing well. They are actually not growing that fast comparing to the others but it looks healthy. I will post some pictures later on this week :)

$10 Herb Basket for $20?? Heck Yes!!

So Lindsey and I sold our Dill Herb Basket for $20 Friday!  It was so cool!  We weren't going to sell the baskets yet because we wanted to let the plants grow more so they'd look better.  But the lady wanted to buy the Dill because she said that was the only herb she didn't have.  She said she had $20 dollars to spend on our plants and when we told her it was only $10 she gave us the $20 anyway!  That was a good day :)
