Butterfly spotting continues!

Yesterday we saw a couple of increases: more gardeners joined our club, more leaves adorned our plants, and we spotted three monarchs! To care for our plants, we used toothpicks to aerate the soil and crushed up eggshells to add calcium to our pepper and tomato plants. We watered and created some more decorations for the border of our garden. 

Our gardeners: Alana, Will, Erica, Kaydence, Samuel, Alessandro, and Xavier

Once we headed over to the butterfly garden, we pulled some weeds, watched the flight of the monarchs, read some books, and brainstormed ideas for a butterfly feeder--our next project. Thank you, gardeners! Your hard work is paying off.  We have several green tomatoes and new peppers ready for harvesting soon!

Can you spot the monarchs?  (2/3 captured in flight)

Thank you, Erica! That was a huge thistle weed.😅

Will represents Gardening Club, and Alessandro sets up a daisy grow pod.  

Thank you, Orquiola family for your donation!
