This week was our third week of working in on the farm. On Monday after we had our first reading assignment due and Mr. Stewart went around checking it off. After that he had decided to review what we had read in the reading and we took notes in our journals and then we worked on planning what we are going to plant and where we are going to plant. It was a Wednesday as usual on block days. We started out the day as usual by meeting at the stumps and signing in. After Catherine forgot to look up the weather report and Mr. Stewart told us that we could show it tomorrow, Mr. Stewart started the class out by showing us the proper way to plant potatoes in a bed. Than we got to work on our one bed projects by continuing the process of double digging. One group was almost finished on the day before and they were able to move on to their planting parts of the one bed project. All of us finished our double digging process that day while some of us were able to finish early and move on to the planting parts of our one bed projects most of us just were able to finish the double digging process and the beds were prepared for planting.

Note from teacher: It would be interesting to hear more about HOW and WHY we do some of these things. For example, what is the benefit of "double digging" and how is it done? Keep that in mind for the future as you share your experiences in SustAg. --Mr. Stewart
