Weekly Progress at Terra Nova

Mr. Strom comparing two blackberry bulbs to see who dug up the biggest blackberry bulb. 

 Testing the irrigation, it needs a little more work, but it is very close to being done! Hooray! Good job everyone!

Digging up blackberries. Fun fact: Blackberries that turn orange have a serious fungal disease that can not be cured, you should destroy them asap. 

Students harvested peppers in the green house and plants from the outside were moved to the green house so that they wouldn't freeze in the colder weather.

To keep garlic warm during winter and keep weeds out of the beds straw was put over the beds.

Cabbages are getting ready to harvest!

Here you can see students moving plants to the green house and of course people checking on the fake tree.

Students are now learning about different aspects of climate change in groups of two or three. 

Have a good Thanksgiving break everyone!

Weekly Progress at Terra Nova

Students tested samples of soil in their rows last week to determine what cover crop is needed to enrich the soil. Rows are now for a cover crop.

Irrigation is being set up in the raised beds. New beds were also added. 

Learning about what cover crop to use is something that the students learned about this week too. Along with learning how to discuss in a socratic seminar, they practiced with articles about being vegetation.
