My name is Nicolas Jewell, I am 22 years old and live in Scarborough, Maine. I moved here in February 2018. I was born in Norway, Maine, but I lived in Charlotte, NC for 17 years. I moved back to Maine to finish my degree in Sports Management. I am currently a junior in the business program at USM. I am taking 5 classes this semester including marketing, I have an interest in marketing because it is so heavily used in the sports world. Everywhere you look there an advertisement about a particular sport or athlete. I personally am a competitive soccer player, but I also enjoy playing football, basketball, tennis, golf, and baseball in my free time.

Yep, we are awesome.
Kirstie and I have been working on finding the most efficient tray layout for the greenhouse tables. Not only have we been figuring out configurations, but we have also been calculating how many more cups and trays we need. Each side of the greenhouse has three tables, one perpendicular between two parallel. Our trays are positioned along the back of the tables, length wise. Due to this configuration, we have deduced that we need 17 more trays and 372 more cups to fill the trays. Because of the great work of Kirstie and I, we now have the most efficient tray configuration for the upcoming horticulture class. ...yep, we are awesome.

The Tigers are coming, the Tigers are coming!!
Okay, now as you all know this coming Saturday, December 3, 2011 the SEC Championship will be held in Atlanta, at the Georgia Dome. The University of Georgia Bulldogs (12) is to take on the Louisiana State University Tigers (1). It is supposed to be a crisp, fall day. Such is today in our Botany class. When tending the plants we have planted, we shiver in the FREEZING cold. Which brings to my attention the importance of covering your plants. Your herbaceous beings are to be protected in the following ways: 1) Build a greenhouse to keep your little darlings safe from the frozen tundra we call North Carolina. The greenhouse will protect a large amount of herbaceous beings better than just a simple plastic drape...which brings me to MY NEXT POINT: 2) cover your garden with a simple plastic drape. It is SIMPLE and much cheaper and less time consuming than staring the huge garden project of building a greenhouse. In other words GO BULLDAWGS!!

Compost
It seems that the lower school students are having trouble remembering what should and should not be put into the compost barrels. If you guys see one of them putting an incorrect item into the bin please stop them and remind them. It will make the composting much easier! Thanks again!

Compost
Our compost pile has produced a pile of good soil and it continues to grow, and improve daily! I have changed bays for the compost weekly and have noticed better quality in the soil that is being produced. I will continue to observe the compost as time goes on.
Harvest of the Colla-people
It is finally time for harvest. The colla-people have recovered from their fearful encounters with the animals that tried to eat them (finally turning to the radish-ans we used as decoys) and are ready for harvest. We started with five rows, four with collards and one with cabbages, and after the near total decimation of the collapocalypse we only managed to maintain two rows of colla-people. The cabbage-ians were not so lucky. We have since harvested them and are getting ready to cook them. Their destiny will finally be fulfilled, to fill the stomachs of the botany classmates, alongside pinto beans ...and bacon.
