A lot of the garlic planted in the fall at QE failed, or was eaten or damaged, so Green School replanted it one during lunchbreak last week. First Catriona gave a lesson on the lifecycle of garlic, and how to plant it, then the kids grabbed tools and got to work. Finally the bed was covered in straw to protect the emerging shoots from the elements. Half the sidewalk was covered too, so Catriona and Allison stayed behind to clean up!.
The garlic planted now won't be as big as that planted in the fall, but replanting ensures there will be plenty to go around at the June harvest festival.
