Observing pumpkin growth.
Farmer Caitlin picked the plantings up.
She will plant them at Alewives with the wooden stakes, which will mark them.
The children will pick their pumpkin on a field trip in the fall.

Celebrating summer birthdays, all July birthdays!
Happy 6th Birthday my friends!

At the end of school Caitlin will come back to Pond Cove to get our plantings. She will put them into the garden at Alewives Farm. In the fall the children will go to Alewives to pick their pumpkin off the vine. Caitlin will also take the chicks to the farm and the children will be able to visit the full grown chickens as well!
Thank you Caitlin!
