Capitol School Garden Update (FROM ANDREW)

for our container garden we are useing two large teracotta pots on each side of the front building steps and hanging baskets for strawberries on the east-faceing side for more access to sunlight and sugar snap peas on the west-side for shade. In the terracotta pots we are using old shutters for trellis.In one pot we are running sungold tomatoes up the shutter and surrounding with basil and mixed salad greens. In the other pot we are running cucumbers up the shutter and surrounding with raddishes and carrots which grow goos together because the raddishes grow faster and will be ready for harvest just in time for the carrots to need more room.
