A 'RAD' Workshop

A pair of RAD kids with a pair of RAD-ishes.
ps. RAD means 'cool'

On May 17th at HOH, a Gardening Workshop was held to demonstrate the planting of summer vegetables and to help members plant various seedlings.  Vegetable seedlings planted included cucumber, tomato, and bell peppers.

Tomato Seedlings root/stem can be planted horizontally
 to provide better support for plant stem (ie. deeper).

Members also harvested various Spring crops such as radishes (top photo and below), kohlrabi. [Also peas, broccoli, etc. - not shown]
