With the break of sunshine we had this week we were able to start getting the mulch spread and the garden beds installed in the food garden area. This area will be used for service learning in the Plant Biology class and Honor the Gift of Food class next quarter. We even were able to plant a few berries (currants and blueberries) along side the beds. There is a lot of more work to do, but with the quarter come to an end soon it was good to get started. The mulch was provided at a generous rate from BTI landscape supplies in Burlington, WA and we will be getting soil donations from a local farmer.
Can you guess what seed this is?
It is grown locally in Skagit county?
