The giggles for last week came at the Richmond elementary school, where the kindergarten class got a short course in plant propagation.
The brown line represented the soil surface, the two teardrops squash seeds. One is pointed upward, the other down, but each will know which direction to send its roots and top.
Everyone got a container of potting mix to plant with a pumpkin, headed for each child’s home.
The kids were into it ! They’ll be coming to the farm June 12 to install winter squash that they planted during our session at school.
