My Project

Our school garden committee has been working a-maize-ingly hard this year to gather donated tools and equipment for the revitalization of our 24 garden beds and planters. You wouldn't bay-leaf it if I told you how much was donated this year. Lettuce just say it was enough that we now need an additional storage shed to safely store it all (preferably one that won't leek).

What happens to garden equipment left out in the rain - they become melon-choly.

And very chili. Seriously though, peas consider donating to help squash this project. It would make our school garden committee un-beet-able for ears to come.

Hopefully you didn't find this project too corny.
