Week 6
Week six has been rather uneventful in terms of the garden plot. We went in and weeded when necessary. The plants are growing well, but need to be thinned. the chard is growing the slowest when compared to the other veggies.
Week 5
We finally put our transplants into the beds we made, and watered the plants as well. We placed hay between the beds to help with weed control.

Spacing is key; here you see Jordan measuring out the holes for the transplants.

Week 4
Week four was exciting because we got to set up our beds and because our plants are looking really healthy. On Sunday morning, we went to the teaching garden and made eight beds. We pulled some large weeds, but also turned the soil to help with weeding. We keep checking on our seedlings every day to make sure they are doing well in the greenhouse.

Week 3
Week 3
This week showed some rapid growth in our plants. Almost every cell has a plant in it and they look strong and healthy. We continue to check on our plants every day and water as needed. All of the plants seem to be doing well, but the spinach has the lowest germination rate.

Week 2
Week 2
During the second week of our CSA project, some of our vegetables emerged. Every day, someone from our group would go to the greenhouse to check on the seedlings. They need a fair bit of water during this stage, so we misted them almost every day.
