Finally done!
I'm finally done with winter quarter! I turned in my project proposal for the spring quarter project, that I'm not doing, and did my share of cleaning the lab. Yipee!
For spring quarter, I decided to go with Evening and Weekend Studies classes, so I can sleep in AND have time in the garden. I'm only taking 12 credits, and they're all lower division, with low workloads. The 8-credit program is Ecology and the Built Environment, which I took before as a 4-credit class. It's one of the classes where you do your reading, show up and participate, and you will get your credits. There's a project at the end, but that will be a no-brainer. The other class is Stats II, which will be useful to have on my transcript for grad school. It requires a group project (I'm don't play well with others) but Kelsey is in that class too, so I should have at least one person I can work with.
I'm running a little late on seed starting because of school, but not too bad. I'm playing with version 1.0 of my LED seed starting light made with red and blue christmas lights. I don't totally trust them with all my starts yet, so the old florescent tubes are up as well. I have just a few pieces left to paint on the tubing for the greenhouse, just waiting for the next 50 degree day. When the new greenhouse goes up, we'll be moving the deer fence as well, to go around the greenhouse and the 4 blueberry plants that are outside the fence. Over the winter, we've added about 100 square feet of raised vegetable bed inside the fenced backyard, replacing some of the lawn. It's so much nicer to have greens and such so much closer to the kitchen.
