Projekt Oyster Garden

This Memorial Day Weekend brought on a projekt we've wanted to do for a while which is to start some oyster seeds and watch them grow. We started the day with Grandpa and Grandma at the shellfish farm where we picked out 1000 baby oysters. On the way home we stopped at the local bakery for some treats, then headed down to the beach to put all these little oysters in their new homes. We had a great low tide to work with on Saturday. They will grow to harvestable size in 12-18 months and in the meantime do their job of filtering the waters of Puget Sound.
It will be fun to watch them grow!
