Our 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students trekked out to The Giving Garden to have some garden fun. They transplanted Romanesco broccoli, a geometrically intriguing lime green veggie from the cabbage family and a cousin of cauliflower grown often in Italy. It has a nutty flavor and is delicious sauteed in olive oil with garlic and served over pasta. The children sowed Watermelon radish seeds and planted Party Cauliflower seedlings. It was sunny and windy afternoon in the garden. The children were first fueled by some healthy fresh raw veggies -- green beans and baby carrots served with fresh white bean dip and Organic Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing. There was much excitement when the children found a yellow carrot that had overwintered in its bed from last year's garden.
