Week 12 - First Trees

Tuesday:
Time in: 8:30am
Time out: 4pm


Today, I watched as a new volunteer and the head coordinator, Scott, put in the first citrus trees in the front area of the Ranch. There are many more to come, but it is fun to watch as the area becomes more defined.

Other duties of the day included:
  • Transplanting more vegetables into the shaded coldframes
  • Helping to unload a very large truck of plants for the upcoming plant sale
  • Continue to mulch the Orchard
  • Compost the vegetable beds



Thursday

Time in: 8:30am
Time out: 4pm


Most of the day included continuing the same tasks that Tuesday provided. The last couple hours of the day, however, I was assigned to pulling the unknown weed (pictured above) in the food forest. This weed has has very sharp-ended seeds that easily stick to skin and clothing.
