Springtime Push at the Farm
This week at the farm has been pretty hectic. This week the farm has sprung to life and a lot of Spring cleaning was needed. We had to help clean up the Ecology Garden and the Greenhouse which has been infested with wasps. Also, given all of the growth that has been going on we've really had to clean up our one beds. Some of our crops have been looking good on the farm which includes, strawberries, melons, and squash. This week also was very hot and the sunglasses, hats and sunscreen were brought back into action after the long winter.
During this week of studies we also have been keeping up with reading one hundred pages of a book of our choice. We got to choose the books on subjects of farming that we thought were interesting. Next week we will undergo a seminar and discuss what we've learned from these books.
Another assignment that has recently begun is our Final Projects. These projects will last us for basically the remainder of school. Some great progress has already started during this weeks allotted time. During this week we saw one of our students begin the process of bringing some much-needed shade to the Farm. Also, the hoop house is in the process of being renovated by a couple of students.
Overall, it has been a great and productive start to the Spring season on the RHS Farm.
