Because of daylight saving ending, we had a shorter lecture outside so that we had more daylight in the garden. This week we discussed organic agriculture. I personally choose not to eat organically because of the high cost of the foods. If not for the cost, I would eat organically because the process is more environmentally friendly, and there are less pesticides in the foods. It would be ideal to use sustainable agriculture for this reason. The process is better for the environment through the preservation of natural resources. Hopefully, methods such as these will one day be more cost effective so that more farmers adopt these styles of agriculture.
This week in the garden we finally got to harvest our crops! I took home two heads of lettuce, several Provider and Royal Burgundy beans, and a cucumber (left). I took both type of beans and made them into Tofu Pad Thai (above)!
I also brought home more
zinnias this week! They are
growing in my garden like crazy!
My ladybug peppers and my eggplants are both looking pretty close to harvesting too! I can't wait!
Until Week 11! Happy harvesting my fellow gardeners!
