New Images from the Vegetable Garden and New Contest

View showing both production schemes side-by-side.
The students in George Thomas' Vegetable Production course continue their hands-on learning on the campus grounds. Each team continues to adjust their management plans based on the production scheme they were chosen to work with. Stop by and take a look!

NEW HCC HORTICULTURE STUDENT CONTEST
Well I didn't have a lot of takers on the last contest although I did have a few students mention that they were close. So lets try again. Just like the lottery the total is growing. We are now up to two custom coffees or equivalent (for non-coffee drinkers there are baked good and other food as well). All entries must be submitted via e-mail by Friday, June 23rd, 2006 at 5:00 pm. The best response wins.

Question: Who was the genus Kalmia named for? What country was this natural resource scientist born in? and who was his most famous teacher?
