Christmas Farm Post!
This week on the Redwood Sustainable agriculture farm, we've all been very productive. This week alone we've been harvesting and preparing our beds for winter. As it's called, "winterizing", is very necessary for our beds. While the school will be off for break our preparations will help new seeds and underground root growth develop. As the summer/fall season comes to an end we are also planting more winter oriented crops that can handle lesser amounts of sunlight and colder conditions.
Along with harvesting all our summer/fall crops, the RHS Agricultural Classes have raised money for the class and have delivered bags of fresh greens and produce to teachers around the school. Bells Beans, Chard, Roman Lettus, and Kale were the main harvested crops, and we've been receiving lots of smiles as we deliver them. With our beds prepared with layers of hay and row covers, the farm is ready for a month without attention and little growth. From everyone at the farm, we wish you good luck with upcoming finals and studying! Merry Christmas Redwood.
Thanks,
Justin Inscoe
