Today in our first day of project, we worked in the gardens outside.  The kids checked out all the growth that happened over the summer.  On move up day last year they planted green beans, lettuce, and carrots and today they harvested the carrots and green beans, but the lettuce had gone to seed and wasn't good to eat anymore.  In addition, they harvested some potatoes and tomatoes that Ted had planted.  The last thing they did was begin to wash all the vegetables.  They used vegetable brushes to scrub the potatoes and carrots. 

We plan to eat and share the carrots and tomatoes and enjoy the green beans, and hopefully we'll soon be able to make some mashed potatoes, too!
