2011 Field Project Update!

Hello everyone,

Sorry there has not been much news about the Field Project on here yet... I just learned how to use it.

The Field Project is well underway this year! We were able to get into the field much sooner than last year, and everything has been planted. We have about 14 rows of plastic mulch laid down with all our hot crops in them (pepper, eggplant, tomatoes, pumpkins, melons, etc) and then another bunch of rows with all kinds of veggies.

All interested members must have a field orientation before they get involved in the Field Project. There have already been several this year and there will only be another one if there is demand. If you are still interested in getting involved, please email us at:
hortclubfield@gmail.com

That is the update for now... so if you have interested friends who are students, please send them our way. Enjoy your summer,

Clare, Grant, Veronica, Tariq
Field Managers

Message from field project manager Clare:
**************************************
In trying to accommodate all of the responses I received about when an orientation would work, I have decided to schedule the last orientation for tomorrow, Tuesday June 14th at 5:15pm at the Horticulture Field Lab.

The field lab is located at 2909 14th st. East, between Preston and Arlington, with a big metal gate and sign that says "Horticulture Research Facility" (or something like that).

Please bring your $15 membership fee is you have not already paid this year (membership fee covers Sep.2010-Aug.2011)
and also a completed membership form (attached).
