We're in the ground, sort of!

Our Cherry Belles are growing!  Our radish seedlings grew rapidly over the Labor Day weekend, and I wanted to get them into the ground as soon as possible.  Unfortunately, the weather was quite rainy this weekend, and kept me from getting to school to build the bedframes.  We decided to plant the seedlings in some flat plastic tubs until we can get the garden area prepared as necessary to get the plants into the raised beds.  We used organic Miracle Grow garden soil. 

Our 1st grade buddy class walks past the garden area on the way to recess every day, so they'll be keeping a close eye on the plants' progress.  Our class decided to be sure we monitor the weather each day, so we'll know whether the plants will need water or to be shielded from the sun.
