First Few Photos!

Adorable little sign we put up the first week. The demonstration gardens are in formerly little grassy areas that students congretated in a lot during breaks. We're trying to make a gradual shift away from that, so the students don't feel like we stole their space


The set up for the raised beds. 48" wide, and 2 sets of anywhere from 98" to 102" depending on how good the wood was. We're using cedar seconds from the local sawmill. Trying to keep as much in the local economy as possible.
The first few beds. The sides are reinforced with some rebar stakes. In order to keep that hazard to a minimum, I had the idea of putting the piping on now to cover the stakes. We'll drape the fabric for the hoops over the piping to retain heat in the colder months.

Another view of the beds. The science classes all meet in that building in the background. 
A few of the starts from Katherine's house. They should be ready to go once we finally get the soil from the broken down truck. More on that and everything else that can possibly go wrong in a future post.
