Vegetable Production Course Underway

The Horticulture Technology students enrolled in Vegetable Crop Production have begun their hands-on learning in the on-campus garden. They will divide the vegetables produced among themselves and the remainder will be given to a local area food shelf. George Thomas, the instructor for the course will teach the students the applied science of vegetable production .
"I know those students are around here somewhere?"
"Hey George, I think we saw some students working over there...but they are gone now"
Seriously, the students worked very hard installing raised vegetable beds. Everyone jumped in grabbed a shovel or rake and went at it.
Several students install a divider down the center of the beds. As part of the course the students will compare conventional production to organic methods.
Some cucurbit transplants being installed.
The students also direct-seeded sweet corn.
Brassicas, cucurbits, tomatoes, and pepper plants were all put in today.
Student transplanting peppers.
