FOR SEVERAL MONTHS WE HAVE BEEN GOING TO THE [|CitySprouts] GARDEN EVERY TUESDAY. EVERY WEEK MY GROUP AND I WOULD DO A DIFFERENT JOB. IN MY OPINION I ENJOYED EVERY JOB BUT, MY FAVORITE JOB IS HARVESTING. BECAUSE, IT GIVES YOU AN EXPERIENCE THAT YOU WILL NEVER FORGET. WE WOULD DO OUR GARDEN JOURNAL THE SAME NIGHT THAT WE WOULD GO TO THE GARDEN. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE MEMORIES WE HAD AT THE GARDEN.

Garden Journal #1 Today I would be a harvester and we will be making potato chips. But before making potato chips my group had to take out the potatoes from the garden area. While I was taking out the potatoes I saw a first roly ploys. The were so much roly ploys but then my friend Dr. lu2345 saw a grasshopper and my group gathered around it. So finally I had to cut the potatoes into thick slices. My friend DR.lu2345 was cooking the potatoes on the grill and after that my group gave all my classmates some potatoes chips.

Garden Journal # 4

First we went to get shovels and went to these two boxes full of soil, dirt, and trash. I was digging in the dirt and soil. While I was doing that I seen a worm. I picked up the worm and put it in a container so my group can observe it. They were so many [|worms] and Roly Polys, otherwise known as [|isopods,] it was an amazing experience. After we were done with the composting, another group made some mashed corn with tomatoes. The mashed corn and tomatoes were so delicious that im so glad I have friends like that.

Garden Journal #5

For the fifth day of garden my group was going to do something that we never imgine of doing.

First, Liz told us that we had to take new soil, put it in a wheel barrel then drag the wheel barrel back and. put the soil on the ground for the plants. It was such an amazing experience to touch and smell ne w soil. After we were finished with that, we had to cut dead leaves and dead sunflowers. I noticed that there were a lot of dead sunflowers. In another group they made tea witch was really good. Like always the garden was an exciting time and I willnever forget a single bit of it.



Garden Journals # 8

It was the eighth day of the garden and at first I thought t his was going to be a normal day. But really there is so many things to come. We were maitnenece today and today we had to dig out what was under <span style="color: #ce36ce; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">the compost bin and put it on top. While we were digging we saw something very unusual. <span style="color: #ce36ce; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">I picked it up and it seemed to be a slug. I never saw a slug before so this was really cool. <span style="color: #ce36ce; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Then another person in my group told everyone that she saw a millipede. We put both decomposers inside some bins so we could observe them. Another group made some musturd but with apples inside it. It was really good. Like always the garden came through to me and I had the best time <span style="color: #ce36ce; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px;">with my classmates. <span style="color: #ce36ce; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">I love the garden and I always will.
