During this class period students were introduced to the course and we highlighted some important features in a garden including but not limited to soil, fertilization, irrigation, climate, and more. Members of the class are each responsible for their own blogs to track the progress of their garden plots from start to finish (planting to eating).
The first activity we did was 'order our seeds.' Each student was given a worksheet to plan their gardens. We all get four 15 foot beds to plant the vegetables. The worksheet included the plants we have available to grow along with the recommended spacing from Johnny's Select Seeds and the IFAS EDIS Vegetable Gardening Guide. Everyone calculated how many of each plant they will grow and handed in their 'Seed Ordering Worksheets.' For next week they are to post their garden plot plan to their blogs, similar to the figure I have below.
Unfortunately, Labor Day is next week therefore we don't have a chance to meet as a class. Therefore, our next meeting is in TWO weeks, at which point we will start planting in our gardens.
