TEE SHIRTS MADE FOR OR LOCALFEAST DINNER

Getting ready for the winter.

Students prepare the greenhouse for the winter by building a second layer over the crops. We use rebar, plastic tubing, and remay.

Managing the greenhouse beds:

Fall 2009 is the first season we will be using our new greenhouse. Each student has their own 3.5 foot by 12 foot raised bed. We are seeding three varieties of winter hardy spinach and four varieties of winter hardy lettuce. The goal is to grow and harvest greens into the winter without using any heat.
