Week in Review

The spring is upon us; the temperature is rising and the days are becoming longer and hotter. This week in SustAg, many groups are planting new crops for the spring rotation and harvesting the old ones. In loom of spring break, students have been preparing their beds for the upcoming week. By now, the places that were harvested are now filled with new spring crops: either seeds that were planted, or crops that were grown in the hoop house in flats. In addition to our one bed work, we have also had a lot of time to work at our management jobs. My groups management job is composting, so we spent our block period this week building the March compost pile and sifting through the October/November pile. Overall, it was an important and productive week with lots to be done before break. I am excited to see the results after one week away from the farm.
