The agricultural extension officers and club members of the different schools have discussed and chosen the vegetables to be grown, taking into consideration the ecological zones, soil types, and climatic conditions of the different areas.
The following seeds were ordered fron SEED PROGRAM INTERNATIONAL or obtained locally:
Radish, Squash, Mustard, Tomato, Cabbage, Carrot, Okra, Spinach, Beets, Lettuce, Diakon radish, Broccoli, Cucumber, Collards, Coneflower,Cauliflower, Peas, Pepper, Galia melon, Zinnia, Onion, and Beans.
We have also received free chaya, katuk, moringa, Ethiopian kale, amaranth, seminole pumpkin, and watermelon seeds and cuttings from Echonet.org, to be grown experimentally in smaller quantities.
Using the selected list of vegetables, we asked the students to draw their “dream gardens.” Their designs will be used to develop the final plan for planting, which begins later this month.
