Thanks to our summer waterers!
They are keeping the Panther Patch
green and gorgeous!
The fourth grade planted a three sisters
garden, similar to the gardens the Powhatan
Indians may have planted. The corn grows
tall to form a sturdy trellis for the bean vines.
The squash and pumpkins grow along
the ground.
A variety of flowers thrive in the Panther Patch.
Here, you see brightly colored sunflowers and marigolds.
The strawberries returned for another year. We
have a few returning visitors, including basil, sunflowers,
marigolds, zinnias, and tomatoes.
The fifth graders planted two types of cabbage. As
you can see, they love their new neighborhood.
The corn started out as tiny plants very
similar in appearance to their cousin, lawn
grass. Over time, the corn distinguished
itself in terms of its height and width of its
leaves. Soon each stalk will bear dazzling
ears of sweet yellow corn!
