Saturday Gardening

Students interested in helping out in the h.s. garden are invited to participate in a garden work day tomorrow, 10/26, from 10-11:30 a.m.  Community service hours are available.

We've been wrapping up things in the garden now that fall is here.  The tomato plants have completed their cycle, as have the squash plants.  We're still harvesting herbs, lettuce, and swiss chard.  More garlic will be planted.

The FHS Garden Club has met a few times and begun working out back.  Students are tending to the fruit trees and mulching, and helping to lay down wood chip pathways.  Community service hours are available to students who can donate their time to help.  Some weekend work hours may be scheduled, weather permitting.

Garden Visitor

Lately, we've noticed what appears to be a young, red-tailed hawk in the high school area....its nest is possibly nearby.  We can hear its vocalizations as it soars overhead, surveying the fields and grounds.  Yesterday (Saturday) it landed on the corner of the building near the patio and sat there observing one of us as we went about our garden chores. Here are some pictures of the hawk taken with a cell phone.
