This past week we got

This past week we got a load of horse manure from Luke. Also the frame for the greenhouse has been put in place.

This week has been a very successful week. Grace, Chloe, and I shredded the cardboard for the compost pile, then Grace, Chloe, Kody, and I and added water throughout the week to it to keep moist. Grace, Chloe, and I also finished the posters to help make the kids more aware of what they put into the bin and we created a power point presentation for the grammar school chapel. The only problem is that Mrs. Cross, the lady in charge of the chapels says that the speakers for next two weeks have already been secured, so either we must present the week after the next two, or cut our presentation down to five minutes. If we wait two more weeks, we will be giving up some very valuable composting materials, as it takes a lot of organic matter to break down into a small pile of nutrient-rich soil. We also spoke with Mrs. Elkins and Mrs. Kuhn about the grass cuttings, but they said we won't have any until around April, and they will keep us posted.

Its been a great week

Its been a great week for the tater team, potatos are growing like crazy and hotbed is finaly nearing completion. -Adam J.

During the class period today I began to plant in my newly completed tractor pot! Firstly, I cut a plastic bag as a liner, and then I placed soil inside of the bag along with a rock. Then I saturated the soil. I decided on planting Spearment and Chives inside my pot. Now the waiting begins! I just hope my plants don't die. :)

After another week flying by we have a greenhouse well on its way to completion. The hot bed is filled with manure and hopefully if all goes well next week we will have plants planted in the bot bed!

Greenhouse and Lettuce

This week we started the greenhouse construction. It's coming a long and is going to look pretty cool. Also, the lettuce Kaylyn and I are growing nearly died due to frost, but we were able to save them(due to our amazing growing skill). :) They now have new leaves and look as though they will make it.

I'm helping build the greenhouse today. And my tomatoes are doing great! :)

Our hole is full of manure and is now ready for the final planting preperations

This week I have watered my tomatoes like I always do. Today I finished transplanting so now all my tomatoe plants are in bigger flats. Now they can grow even more. All the tomatoes that Luke, Jasmine and I have grown has been doing really well.

I watered my pepper plants and worked on painting the herb baskets. The herb baskets that already have herbs in it, are growing. The cilantro, basil, and zinnias have sprouted. Can't wait for them to grow some more. I'll be putting up pictures tomorrow.

And here's the final view of the barn. ~Lindsey

So today I finally finished painting the tractor pot. Yay! The picture above is the tractor view. ~Lindsey

Last week we continued watering our Salvias and growing our potatoes. The hot bed is still there with nothing happening and the potatoes have finally shown some signs of growth. They grew lots, and are bigger than everyone else's plants and that is from Thursday, Friday and the weekend. Potatoes are looking good, Salvias seem to be fine. -wes

The potato barrel is working beautifully

This past week I have painted herb baskets (almost done) and taken care of the pepper plants. I transplanted some and planted some more. Also the Cilantro and Basil has started to grow. Now the other ones need to start growing!!!
