Mrs. Evans' class joined us in the garden to plant cherry tomatoes of all different varieties (see sidebar for varieties). The students did a stellar job! The students crushed egg shells in their hands and dropped them in the holes we dug for the tomato plants. The egg shells will provide extra calcium the tomato plants need. The students then seeded the same bed with basil and dill seeds. The basil and dill will confuse the bugs that want to eat the tomato plants with their pungent smells. Plus tomatoes and basil go really nicely together in dishes.
