This week on the farm we did lots of planting in our beds. There was lots of weeding done and harvesting for our market day. This market day was a big success by making over 200$. There were pumpkins, squash, celery, artichoke, mint, catnip and so much more. I would say it was a very successful market day.
Our beds are looking really good compared to how they looked the first day of school. You can see that there are little weeds and lots of open dirt which means lots of planting. This week I saw garlic, beets and lettuce being planted. there was also a great improvement on the pathways in-between the beds. The farm is looking in ship shape condition.
In class there was lots of time to plan what the groups are going to be planting in there beds. Some groups started to work on there second bed and start seeing that. Groups also worked on management jobs. There was improvement in the irrigation — fixing some holes in a couple tubes. The compost crew started building a new compost pile and did some sifting. The maintenance crew did a great job in keeping the shed clean and making sure that everything was back in its spot.
Even though it was a shorter week there was a lot accomplished.
