End Of The Employment

Its been a great experience working with the storytellers foundation. It has been a pleasure seeing all the gardens growing, and all the different types of veggies people are growing. Throughout the work term one thing i can take out of this is all the gardening tips i now know. I'm more confident in the area and i am now unafraid to try tackle things such as growing my own overtaking peas! Today however is my last day, and i'm sad to say goodbye to all the watering and weeding and freedom at the garden. I'm staying in hazelton to finish off my last year of high school so making a regular trip to the garden won't be that hard. I'll try my best to harvest what i've grown over the last couple of months. Hopefully around town i'll be able to see the families that put their green thumbs to the test. The work term has been a great experience for me and i'll never forget it.

Hello garden challengers. Althought i'm a new character here i have managed to magically get a garden all caught up and grown with the others. A big thank you to Erica for that. We share a garden although the sign at the demonstation garden site says my name alone. I was adopted into the storytellers family roughly a week ago. Here's a quick low down on how my plants are doing. My peas have sprouted! They are getting bigger every day, and seem never ending... I also have a lone ranger pea. He sprouted all by himself a little south of pea central... maybe its warmer down there? Also i've been working like crazy trying to keep up the thinning with my carrots. Its pretty cool to see all the little captain carrots growing. Unfortunately the little group of onions that survived a night attack, did not make it. It was said to say good-bye, but with a quick pluck they have been let go. I still have plenty onions still going strong. My merigolds are doing wonderful.. although their neighbors a few boxes down have been slowly going. The romain lettace is looking extra crisp! The brussel sprouts... wow these little guys are growing like mad-hatters! Their brothers and sisters (cauliflower and broccoli) are doing well beside them too! The tomato plant is looking good for being outside we have some little little guys growing. My cucumber is looking a tad sad. I'll be in full force to help him out. He has to pull through. I'll also try to keep all you fellow bloggers updated! So keep an eye out for some new pics, and some new news coming your way soon!
