@SpaceSimonM @ONFE_ROPE our plants are growing so well! We are trying a new method watering filling the cups that have holes in them to water the tower! #classroomgardens

🌱@SpaceSimonM, notre gestionnaire du programme #JardinerEnClasse, viens d'aider a une classe de @SainteKateri a récolter et à goûter leur laitue, basilic, bette à carde, persil et d'épinards ! Miam ! @ecolecatholique

Simon came to help us get the tower ready for the holiday break! Some of his tips
- we need food scraps for our worms! Not citrus! Please send some scraps in!
- we need to water way more 5x more! - - pinch the pods after planting & cover @SpaceSimonM @ONFE_ROPE #classroomgardens

Today we found mushrooms growing in the garden behind our beautiful green lettuce. We also checked on some of our worms (sitting on what is left of a mango seed). The Pines are really excited to try some of these veggies. @StRitaOCSB @ONFE_ROPE #classroomgardens #ocsbDL

@ONFE_ROPE @Pines_Maples @StRitaOCSB Mold doesn't like air currents... So putting a fan near the tower (eg overnight) could also help.

[Simon McMillan @SpaceSimonM]

@RowsomeEdu @ONFE_ROPE Nice! I hope it grows well.

[Simon McMillan @SpaceSimonM]

@RowsomeEdu @ONFE_ROPE The basil looks ready for the Garden Tower to me.
