Week 1

It's the last day of our week and here's some of what this past week held:

Tuesday worked out in a full sun day-we weeded a bit out in the field as well as mulched asparagus. We were all anticipating people arriving for our Tuesday evening potluck but no one showed up..hahaha. So the intern house ate like kings-quiche, potatoes, shrimp & grits, and apple crisp. Next potluck we won't be going to as great of lengths in preparation!

Wed-Fri.-We have spent most of each day in the greenhouse as the weather has been a bit rainy, cloudy, and windy. Waterpenny does most of their planting from transplants they start in their large greenhouse. Eric has it down to a science so he just tells us what needs to be done each day! We seed as well as do "spotting", which is another name for thinning. Basically you seperate clumps of seedlings into individual units to plant. It's the least wasteful and most efficient way for them.

We have a 3 day weekend...woohoo...and start again next Tuesday. It has been great thus far. Our roommates-Tyler a.ka. Boo and Miranda have been great. We all work really well together and make each other laugh alot!

Until next week.
