This blog represents the work of students at the University of Alabama in New College 490: Organic Farming II. This semester, small groups of four students each will be designing and implementing urban gardens. These will be container gardens, and will include composting, and seed starting and transplanting. The groups will be updating this blog weekly, beginning February 24th.

we bring the rain.

On behalf of the Crazy Awesome Yea Thursday group I'd like to apologize; Apparently when ever we all have a time to get together and work on our garden we inadvertently preform some type of ancient rain dance. BUT! thanks to test, papers, projects, and other assignments we have been able to enjoy a few days of perfect weather! resulting in dry warm earth ready for planting.
We will be picking up our transplants from the farm tomorrow, and will be getting them into the ground at Crazy Awesome Central within a week.

we are still fighting the wind trying to keep our paper mulch in place. Maybe we could lay it down and immediately water it? Added weight might keep it from blowing around?
The good news though, our compost is warming up and seems to be breaking down.

Pictures below, enjoy. :-)
