We visited West Portal Elementary the Friday before Spring Break just to get a better idea of what we could do. We met Amy Mack, the Head of the Garden Program at the school and discussed possible projects. Here are some of the ideas that she gave us:
-We need to replace 4 planter boxes which are set on ground so they're open bottomed. If possible, we could install 2 more of these boxes, for a total of 6 They are 4'X4' and about 18" high.
-The veggies I would like to plant would be carrots, lettuces, chard, potatoes, maybe some crooked necked squash. I'm open to other ideas as well, if you would like to have input. Ideally we'd plant enough to fill the planter boxes. Carrots are usually started from seed, lettuce and chard from seed or starts, potatoes from "seed potatoes" (pieces of potato with the eye on them), and squash from starts. The total number would be determined by the number of planter boxes we have to work with.
