Lettuce Picking: July 20

13 families were the lucky ones who will be eating fresh cut lettuce today from the Hunger Free North Dakota Garden.  The students had lots of fun, and got a little muddy. We also discussed different types of vegetables, including tubers and root vegetables.  A tuber is a potato and an example of a root vegetable is a carrot, radish, or beat.   The tomatillos are looking good too!

Check out our garden at the Northern Plains Botanic Garden Society...http://npbgs.tripod.com/        (they have a beautiful site they are developing which includes the A-B-C Garden within the 52 acres)...Check out Mrs. B.'s letter "V" also when you visit the garden.  http://npbgs.tripod.com/otherplaces.htm   Look for our class site here. Our site is to what most know as Yunker Farm, though it's in the NPBG Society area.
