This was a busy week, for both the Apprentices and all the fruits and veggies which are growing like mad in and around the gardens and fields. This week we: enjoyed a lecture and field class by Orin Martin on Pome fruits (small seeded fruits); celebrated our bountiful strawberry harvest with a Festival which included live music and lots of strawberry shortcake, whip cream and fresh lemonade; those of assigned to the fields learned about irrigation on a field-scale, then of course we had another great party to round out the week. Over the weeeknd a few of us travelled 25 minutes north to check out Camp Joy, run by Jim Nelson, a former apprentice. Enjoy....we certainly are....
