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.

The First of Many...

And we're off...! The broccoli has sprouted after 3 days. So quick! The rest of the seeds (tomato, eggplant, pepper) are expected to germinate soon. It gets quite hot in the greenhouse, despite the cooling system. Because of the heat and the intense sun, the trays dry out quickly and need to be watered at least once a day.
In just about 2 months these guys will be ready to harvest!
