Today we held our first garden sale. Our goal was to earn $43.00. We had 12 bags of beans at $2.50 each, several bunches of carrots at 0.50 cents each as well as lilikoi and turnips for 0.50 cents and a few bunch of rosemary, sage, and time for $1.00 each. We sold all of the green beans and lilikoi and most of the carrots. The turnips were not a popular. I beleive total sales were about $50.00 we need to recount it tomorrow. Thank you all the hardworking students in A1 and garden club. Special thanks to all the parents, students, and teachers who support our project and made purchases.
Please share your thoughts about the garden sale.

We have four science experiments in process and the students are actively engaged and excited about the projects. The experiments are:
1. What is the effect of fish on the growth of corn?
2. What is the effect of vermicompost on the growth of strawberries?
3. What is the effect of light on the germination of sunflower seeds?
4. What is the effect of soil temperature on the germination of watermelon seeds?
We need to collect data and water the experiments during the fall break. I am asking that each student doing a group science fair experiment in the garden participate in a minimum of three data collections. Data collection and watering will be in the Hope Garden on the following dates and times. Each session should not last more than 20-30 minutes. Your assistance and follow through is greatly appreciated.

All students are invited to come and help take care of the garden during break and are welcome to participate in any and all of the times above. Those interested in working more than 20 minutes are invited to stay for the entire time I am here (probably 1 -1/12 hours).
Thanks and loo
