WHAT A BUSY DAY! We had a very productive day outside this morning! Last night I went to Menard's and got peppers, thyme, cauliflower, cabbage, and Swiss chard. Mrs. D bought eggplants, cucumbers, pumpkins, and more native flowers for our "Native Wisconsin" garden box. When second mod started I went out and turned the soil and added a bag of compost to each of our garden beds getting ready to plant our veggies. Then we starting planting! I started with planting the thyme in our herb box, then I planted the flowers in the "Native Wisconsin" box, and finished by renovating our new vegetable box. My boyfriend Josh also helped to fix our courtyard "pond", a concrete water feature that needed some major TLC he sealed the cracks and added some additional features.

Thank you for your hard work this morning, Daniel, Emily, and Josh!
