Ms. Timmerman's 5th Graders Harvest their Lettuce

Yesterday Ms. Timmerman's 5th graders harvested their bed of lettuce which they had planted in February. It was a huge amount of lettuce! The lettuce was an assortment of heirloom Tennis Ball Lettuce from Monticello and romaine lettuce. Tennis ball lettuce was one of Thomas Jefferson's favorite lettuce varieties. We harvested now to avoid having it bolt as the weather is getting warm.

The harvesters did a great job of pulling it out by the roots. They also found a few radishes.

The class made a salad which they shared with another class. There was still plenty for them to take home!
