This blog follows a college level class designed for 90 non-agriculture majors who desire to learn about vegetable gardening. The basic principles of gardening and an overview of different vegetable crops will be covered in brief lectures followed by work in on-campus vegetable gardens. Each students gets their own garden plot and can choose from a variety of crops to grow throughout the fall season.

Field Preparation

We are avoiding the spilling of a lot of sweat and formation too many of blisters this year because our garden beds were formed before class began by our farm manager! Hours of raking and shoveling have been avoided. We don't even know how lucky we are... Thank you John!!

John is forming beds that are 2 feet wide, with 2 foot walkways between beds.  Each student gets four beds, 15 feet long to plant their crops.
