Second Week
The "Basic Block" training continues...
The second year apprentices demonstrate bed preparation techniques
A beautiful bed of salad greens in the Alan Chadwick Garden
Baby salad greens...nice, eh?
Pretty soon I'll actually know the names of these flowers...for now I just know they're pretty
Yours truly showing off the bed of leeks I prepped and planted, aren't they beautiful!?
Class in the field, learning about mechanical tillage (notice the fog!!)
Jim Leap, Farm Manager (w/cap) talks to class about different methods of cultivation
A fact of life on the farm...gophers! These traps are used to kill them, it's not pretty
but necessary as these little buggers eat the crops like crazy
The meadow behind the farm is teaming with deer
