We now start the second semester of school. This semester in class are main emphasis now will be on preparing the garden for planting and then planting our crop. In class last week we placed seeds in flats of approx 50 seeds per flat. The city of Upland is in Zone 9 and we will monitor the weather and hopefully begin planting in mid February.
The following seeds have been planted:
Work still need to be done in the garden.
1. Complete raised garden bird protection
2. (this is new) make repairs to the center raised garden that was built last year by Chino Valley Water District personnel. The raised garden did not hold up very well. Corners have begun separating.
3. Repair any broken irrigation lines in the garden.
4. Continue work on the Compost pile(s)
Quick note on the compost pile. Last week was the first full week with the black pool cover covering the pile. The last two readings on the pile show a temperature of 140 degrees at about 30" into the pile.
