Thursday October 22nd, Ginger and George from Clemson Extension brought us strawberries to plant. George explained to our YAC/4 H committee how to plant up to the crown area. Then they helped this group plant the strawberries in the bed. The children enjoyed learning about the crown of the strawberry plant and how it acted like the lungs of the plant. Since it needs air to breathe they were instructed to plant to the crown. The bed was planted in a grafting pattern. Math and science lessons were intermingled with the fun!
