How's it Growing?

Pea plants growing out of a piano.

The nice, heavy rainfall a few nights ago clicked everything into high gear in Better Farm's gardens. Yesterday, our Sustainability Education Program students worked tirelessly to get weeds out of the way, baby plants from the nursery into the garden, and got the hang of direct-planting some bean seeds. Today they're continuing their work clearing beds to make way for new transplants and seeds; meanwhile, existing plants have had a serious growth spurt! Here's what's going on on the back 40:
