After a lengthy winter break, which lasted over 2 weeks, students got back out onto the farm on Thursday, January 9th. During the break not much tending was done to the beds. Luckily, the rain was able to provide the plants with the water they needed. And when all of us returned to the farm, we were able to immediately recognize the growth in our beds. But with this outstanding growth came a downside. The return of weeds. Without the constant presence of students throughout the week, many beds were full of invasive plants. My group and I spent the whole class period ripping through our bed, weed by weed. Yet, we still were only able to get rid of about a fifth of them. It feels like the early days of August all over again. Nonetheless, all of us are excited to be back on the farm.
