Log Books

We have composition notebooks in my office to keep a log of your notes/ideas for your organic plot. Please stop by my office, if your group does not yet have one. I have the notebook for my group and Pam has one for her group.

Cilantro

Does anyone have organic cilantro seed? If not, we may have to go with parsley or something else. Also - if you want to do anything (such as soak) your seeds before we plant next week - I have them in my office.

Hydroponic shadehouse

Does anyone have suggestions for what to plant in the shadehouse with the hydroponic system? Ian can get some heirloom tomato plants for us (yeah Ian), but do we want other stuff, too? As the system is configured now, there are spaces for 48 plants. I don't know whether or not we are locked into that.

We also need to do some work back there -- weeding, refilling the perlite bags, checking the system, etc. I am planning to do some weeding for a little while around 3 pm on Friday, if anybody wants to join me.

Getting started

The irrigation supplies are here and groups are starting to anchor their tables and set up their irrigation. You are welcome to go out to the greenhouse at any time and start assembling your irrigation. Remember to mark your table along with the water meter/timer that you will want to use for your irrigation event.

irrigaiton supplies

Hi groups! Irrigation and other supplies are available in the lab and greenhouse. I will go out to the greenhouse during the afternoon break - 3pm - and go over some basics for the irrigation. Also, I have seed - but no cilantro as of yet. I will see if I can come up with some or we may have to pick something else.

New member

Just an FYI that Ian has joined us and will be working with Luis's group.

Irrigation / supplies list

Don't forget I need your shopping lists tomorrow so I can get all of your supplies. You can email or give them to me - either way. I plan to go buy everything Friday afternoon or Monday - depending on other appointments.
