The summer season and work schedule has ended, but interest in the farm has not waned! Last weekend, Dan Flerlage attended a meeting to vouch for next year's farm. At this point, things are looking very good! Everyone is on board - LACS and Southside, the Waldorf School, the folks at Sustainable Tompkins - for continuing this project next year!
LACS classes have started up again, and it's clear that LACS student interest in the farm is stronger than ever. In addition to the new crew of Localvores, there are two "project" groups - a total of twenty students - that will be working on the farm on Thursday mornings and Tuesday afternoons. LACS students have been planting trays during Localvore committee meetings (and sometimes during class). Here's what we've planted so far:
Wed. 4/28: - 550 seeds of Big Jim chilies Fri. 4/30: - 200 Revolution Peppers - 150 Cosmonaut Volkov Tomatoes - 150 Mariana Paste Tomatoes - 400 Brussel Sprouts - 100 Prickly Cucumbers - 50 Regalia Cucumbers - 50 Yellow Crookneck Squash - 50 seeds from a mystery summer squash mix (the "surprise squash") Mon. 5/3: - 144 Broccoli - 150 Watermelons - 50 more Regalia Cucumbers - 72 Green Cabbage - 100 Amish Paste Tomatoes Fri. 5/7: - 72 Red Cabbage - 72 Collards - 72 Kale - 144 Lettuce |
