Rain Rain Go Away

Lots of rain this week in Corvallis! We had a small window to get some plants into the ground but the weather here is still far to cold for most veggies. They will have to stay in the greenhouse till the sun starts to come out!
Here's some updated pictures for you to see!

Before and After!


Before!




AFTER! Our student plot is on the move!! You can see above that everyone really hustled to turn soil before the wet weather reached. Our plot is on the top left with the white flags.




Here is Brian's turned section of out 40'x10' plot. The right corner row will have 4 bush cucumber plants, the 4 rows on the top will be all peppers, and the row on the left was just sowed with carrots!




The Strawberry Tower in the making! You can see some organic oregano in the corner of the plot! Medicinal and Conventional Organic Herbs will be covering the rest of the garden space in Charyl's plot.




Organic Oregano and a Climbing Nasturtium beside it.




Climbing Nasturtium. Organic! I guess you can eat the leaves and flowers!




Organic Veggie and flower starts that are finished growing in the greenhouse and ready for soil. Unfortunately cold weather is on the way so lettuce, peas and some herbs are the only things that could go in the ground thus far.




Our digital scale for weighing out Organic OMRI approved fertilizer. Our class is required to follow a formula to calculate the necessary fertilizer application specific to each vegetable.




Some carrots that Brian planted. Hopefully we will get some purple carrots!




Just an update on some of the student group organic tunnels. You can see the fennel is loving the growing conditions! Last weekend our class went out to the Local Corvallis Farmers Market and sold organic strawberry and veggie starts and made near $700 in ONE day. I think more and more people are starting to grow their own food!
