Week 10 - Internship: My First Day


Time in: 8:50am
Time out: 3:20pm

Today is Earthday, a perfect day to start my internship at The Huntington's Ranch. I started the morning by reseeding some of the vegetable flats in the hothouse. Because the hothouse is mainly tailored for orchids, the temperature and humidity are a bit too high for some of the tomato and pepper seeds to germinate correctly. For the most part, however, many of them seem to be surviving quite healthily.

Most of my day consisted of carrying wheelbarrows of mulch to the main orchard. We were able blanket a good 15-20 square feet about 8 inches in depth before the rain started to come down.
