Plant a Smile at Pelion Outdoor Classroom!
Definitely use your own composter or bury the pumpkins in your flower beds to replenish the soil nutrients. If you, or your neighbors, have extras bring them to the dropoff sites. NOTE: Pelion is the only site that will also accept your straw bales, corn stalks and bagged leaves too. SAVE THE DATE 9OCT to feed our worms.
Mrs.Reiss was intrigued by the color of the redbor kale so we encouraged her to find a recipe that featured raw kale to maximize the nutrition. This variety of kale will continue to darken as the temps get closer to freezy. Many recipes say once it's frozen overnight the fibers break down and/or it becomes less bitter.
We had a super productive carving session! Over 30 designs submitted; narrowed down to SEVEN jack-o-lanterns. We hope these 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃 will add some EEEK 😱 to the I Scream Social & Haunted Lockers tomorrow night. A very special thanks to folks that donated cider to last week’s potluck. We shared it all today with students and caregivers.
Just like that! I promise last week every leaf was still green! As you plan your fall engagements, please consider spending some time at Pelion.
