Feeding MORE than just twenty families...

Those of you who have talked to me in more depth about our mission for the Wendell Phillips Vegetable Farm might already know that our #1 goal is to grow a full season's worth of vegetables for twenty local families. Well, something admittedly interesting is happening that is putting our plans into jeopardy! Something which has us feeding more than we had bargained for...

I direct the jury's attention to Exhibits A, B and C. Note the dug-up dirt within the trays (look closely if you don't initially see it) and the shells of seeds that can sometimes be found tossed about. Apparently there is one or more rats coming into my classroom at night and chowing down! We've lost peppers, eggplants, cucumbers, watermelons... it is really saddening, as we were already a little behind on most of these plantings!

I am starting some seeds at home beginning today, as a kind of "back-up"; in the meantime, I'll ask for your help again. If you know any plant stores offering great prices on either tomato or pepper seedlings, please email us at sciencekidsveggies@yahoo.com. We appear to be at war, and drastic times call for drastic measures...
