In the [|City Sprouts] garden at the [|Amigos School] my group is *AfricanPrincess2332*CaptainFox324*mariokartplayer*

//Today at the garden my group did composting. It was my first time composting and I thought it was very interesting and also intimidating. We caught two [|slugs] (I’m terrified of slugs) and they where big and fat. It was my first time seeing a slug up close (I didn’t enjoy it) and I noticed that they where climbing up the cup. I had to flick it so it could go back in…I was about to get salt.//

//My group did maintenance this week and I got to plant tulip bulbs and garlic. So doggielover101 killed a snail. She cried a bit. She decided to make a grave for the [|snail]. It was all pretty with flowers and other colorful stuff around it. After all that we prayed for him…laughed…and moved on.//

//Today we did composting. We found a spider// //and put it in the container with the centipedes. They seemed not to get along at all. There was a battle between//

 //the spider// //and the centipedes. Th////e spider got// //stung and almost died. It got back up and they battled once again.//

//GJ #8// //My group did maintenance today. Our job was really difficult because we had to up root two bitter sweet plants so they could not grow out again. First// //we had to take all the seeds off, an// //d then we had to dig around it to find the big roots. It toke forever to pull the roots out. After a while of hauling the roots it finally popped out the soil. We thought we where finished but found out there where still more roots. We pulled those out after a while too. After the job was done we relaxed and went [|tomatillo] hunting.//

> //Today was the last day at the garden. We picked out cards full of jobs and I got// maintenance #1. We had to dig a big hole next to the compost. Liz showed us abig pile of roots and leaves and told us to put it in the hole. We did all that and then ate bread with humus. I didn’t like it I thought it was to sour and gross.

It was called// //lemon ba////lm t////ea. I// //thought it wa////s gross so Mrs.Ferh////ani drank it for me.//

Reason why we should have garden priviledg es. We learn many things. We learn life skills in the garden such as, cooking organic things, harvesting, and maintenance. It’s the only other time we get to go outside in school. Everybody enjoys it, even the teachers. Also we use plants and herbs for medicine and spices. So we already know how to do all that. We should also have the privilege to be in the garden because every time you plant something you give oxygen to the world…and your thumbs get greener. This is why we should be able to be in the garden and save our planet and plant more nature.
