Dirty Hands Gardening Club Harvest

Today we helped Mrs. Fifield in the school garden!  We helped to harvest tomatoes, swiss chard, potatoes, and beets to donate to the Bread and Roses Soup Kitchen.  It was fun to get outside in the sunshine and dig in the dirt!  It was so rewarding to see the "fruits" (and veggies) of all the labor that the students did in the spring!  Our haul was 34 pounds of tomatoes!  Yesterday, the kindergarteners harvested 110 pounds of potatoes - and today we found probably 2-3 pounds more of ones that were hiding!
